​ROSE MAIDEN float bowl set as pictured in a Josef Inwald glass catalogue.

Below is a picture of an Amethyst coloured Rose Maiden float bowl and figurine minus its flower frog ring.
It is the only other one that I know of which is still intact except for the missing flower frog ring.
This picture was kindly sent to me by two collectors from Germany.
Picture
The flower frog ring fits over and locates around the feet of the Rose Maiden figurine.
The picture below is of the crystal flower frog ring that was part of the crystal float bowl set that I purchased on eBay in 2013.
It survived in perfect condition  where as my bowl and figurine did not.
This flower frog ring  will be joining the Amethyst Rose Maiden float bowl set in Germany in the near future.

​

Picture
Pictured above is the top side view of the flower frog ring.
It has 10 evenly spaced flower arranging holes.
The outside diameter is 11.5 cm (4.5").
The inside diameter is 4.5 cm (1.75").

Picture
Above is a picture of the side view of the same flower frog ring.
The total thickness is  2.5 cm (1").
​Should you know of any other Rose Maiden float bowl sets please contacted me.

 Up until this point in time I wasn't  aware that a Boy Playing an Accordion figurine was ever made.
 

This figurine has the same round base that is seen on other figurines that I have in my collection.
The figurines in my collection are know to have been made by August Walther and SOhne, a German glass company.

This comparison leads me to the conclusion that the Boy Playing an Accordion figurine was also made by August Walther and Sohne.

As a collector I am amazed at what turns up out of the blue and this figurine is a prime example. 

The pictures of the Boy Playing an Accordion were kindly provided by collectors from Germany who gave me permission to use them in this article.

Should you know of or be fortunate enough to own this figurine in another colour could you please contact me though my website.

​This is an exciting and rare find by the German collectors.
