VENUS (AN) figural flower frog.
Venus is the Roman goddess of love, beauty, prosperity, fertility, and victory.

Picture
It is 22cm ( 8¾ inches) high in one piece.
Seen in pink other colours likely are crystal, amber, green, blue and opalescent in a clear and frosted finish. 
 

Picture
The VENUS figurine is seen on page 22 of a ROSICE 1958 catalogue pictured below, figurine#1938.
It is 16cm 
(6¼inches) high.
​The 5.3cm(2⅛ inch) diameter spigot under the base of this figurine may fit into the center of the flower frog ring #2365.
Picture
The Figural Vase Set sketch below is not seen in any of the Rosice catalogues that I know of. 
I have made this mock up picture using cut and paste.
​It may be possible for this figurine to fit into the center hole in the flower frog ring to make this set.

STUMP LADY Bowl Set Country of Origin Update

The Bowl Set pictured above is the smallest of the Stump Lady Bowl Sets that are known to have been made.
It has always been believed to have been made by the Sowerby Glass Works but never confirmed. This company was located in Gateshead, Northumberland, England.
 
Several years ago I came across one of these Bowl Sets with a
MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA label attached.

This label has raised the questions of who made these sets and where were they made?  

 
Recently a Czechoslovakian Glassexport  Before 1958 Catalogue was sent to me by a Glass Collector who lives in Victoria, Australia.
​
It appears that more than one Glass Companies glassware is represented in this catalogue.

​On page 36 of this catalogue is a picture of a Stump Lady Bowl Set numbered SE/2765a 
I have included this page below.

The company who made these sets is unknown at this point in time,  however we can confirm that they were made in Czechoslovakia.
