Sowerby Seated lady, 8-3/4"h. Colors seen: green, pink (Rosalin), amber, and clear (all satin/acid glass), c.1925. Known to be offered in their 1936 catalog. Rod: "This is in fact a Sowerby piece and was produced for some considerable time, it was even shown in their 1956 catalogue! The colour is nice as although the catalogue shows it made in green it is not a colour one sees often or associates with Sowerby." Rod Crowshaw |

Dolphin, green satin, has peg which fits into clear glass frog. Bowl is 10" in diameter. Fish and frog are approximately 11" high. According to Nyree this fish in England is very common and not popular. It also comes in dark blue and pink. Note: This frog is now known to be Czechoslovakian despite its abundance in England. BB |
| This comment from John Bell: "Czechoslovakia was flooding the UK market with inexpensive decorative glass during the early 20s until the UK Government imposed a prohibitive duty on imports which effectively killed the trade off. There was so much and without names that I believe that most figural frogs were Czech but have become to be considered English because of their proliferation." | |

Nyree: Also comes in blue and pink. The mermaid has a companion bowl surrounded with fish. She is not particularly rare, but because she is pretty she can go for over 50-75 British pounds.  |
