Now seen in Opalescent which is  EXTREMLY RARE. 
A collector from Wales in the UK has made a very interesting observation which prompts the following question;
​ 

Has the company who made this figural flower frog drawn inspiration from a publication called, 
The Water Boy’s Visit to the Sea Fairy by Albert Edward Jackson 1922?
​

Pictured below is an illustration from this publication.
