Condition
Overall very good original condition. Each of the pieces with some minor inconsistencies in glazing, which is inherent in the making. Surface dirt throughout. The three pendants each with inset metal o rings. The "Frog Baked Potato" with a loss to one arm of the sculptural frog. The "Frog Banana Split" is slightly loose in the glass dish. The "Frog Strawberry Shortcake" possibly with a minor chip to the top whipped cream dome. Very minor and does not detract from the decorative scheme of the piece.
