Pictured below is this figural flower frog broken down into its three indiviual parts.

Part 1
The Figurine
Note the threaded spigot at its base.

Part 2
The 6 Sided ​flower frog.
It is 5½"(14cm) in diameter at its widest point.

Part 3
The threaded lock ring
It is used to secure the flower frog to the figurine.

​
When placed under a UV light source this flower frog  glows a  bright green colour due to the uranium oxide that is present in the glass.
​
The uranium oxide is added to the raw materials during the glass making process and is  reported to be harmless.

​The pictures and information above have been kindly sent to me by a collector from Wisconsin in the U S A.
​
Pictured below is a chart that is seen on the National Cambridge Collectors Inc web page.
This  chart lists the colours which Cambridge Glass used to produce their Figural Flower Frogs.

Picture
According to this chart ​AMBER​​ is the only known colour in which the BUDDHA flower frog has so far been seen in.
​
We now know a LIGHT EMERALD coloured one has been made which can be added to the list. 



It would appear that this LIGHT EMERALD coloured BUDDHA flower frog is a wonderful and very rare find.
