 The three flower frogs pictured below are believed to have  been made by  LIBOCHOVICE GLASS a Czechoslovakian glass company.

 The evidence that may supports this theory is that the base of these flower frogs are similar in shape to the  base that is seen on the PENGUIN,  EXOTIC DUCK and FROG sitting on a cabbage plant flower frogs which are known to have been made by LIBOCHOVICE GLASS.
See Archive article December 2014 adjacent.
​

However a makers catalogue needs to be seen for confirmation

BALLERINA bowl set made by ROSICE glass a Czechoslovakian glass company.

The Ballerina three part bowl set is seen in the ROSICE 1958 glass catalogue as an artists sketch, pictured below.
This catalogue doesn't give this set a name but it identifies its individual parts with  number of  2483.
The name  Ballerina is said to have been given by a collector.
The name Ballerina is perfect as it clearly differentiates this figural flower frog from a very similar one named Dancing girl  that was made by Jobling who was a British glass company.
Articles about these two flower frogs were posted on this web page in January 2015 and November 2015.

Click on the relevant archives list adjacent to view them.
The Ballerina flower frog pictured below is 18cm high and the base is 9cm in diameter.
For some reason the 8 square shape flower arranging holes hadn't formed at the time of manufacture.
 Which has resulted in the 8 flower arranging holes having to be drilled later.


It is seen in pink in a frosted finish and in green in a clear finish.
The other colours possible are crystal, amber and blue.

The  float bowl pictured below is 24cm in diameter and 6.5cm high.
Seen in pink and blue in a clear finish.
Other colours likely are crystal, amber and green.
Picture
The plinth pictured below is 12cm in diameter at the base and 4.5cm high.
It is seen in pink in a clear finish.
  Other colours possible are crystal, amber, green and blue.

The pictures used in this article have been kindly supplied by a UK collector.
