2 Vtg Majolica R Tallin Anthropomorphic Mr &Mrs Frog Candle Stick Holders 8.5"

There are some items that just make you smile when you look at them. This pair of majolica frogs do that for me. I had a difficult time finding out information on R. Tallin ceramics. I found other frog candlesticks, figurines and pots that indicated that they were made in the 1980's. The pair are in great condition, no chips or cracks. They are hand painted with wonderful details. The frogs are in historical clothing. Mr. Frog is sporting a Napoleonic style hat and coat with tails while Ms. Frog has on a lovely bonnet, a corseted waist and a blue skirt. The candlestick cup is a tulip-like flower sitting on a lily pad held aloft by the frog. The candlesticks are 8" tall.
