Collector Vintage Country Artists Miniature Frog Figurine
Description
This figurine is a vintage collectible produced by Country Artists, a well-known English studio based in Stratford-upon-Avon that specialized in highly detailed, hand-painted wildlife and nature sculptures.
The gold script emblem on the brown felt bottom is the interlocking "CA" monogram, which serves as the official signature mark for the company. These miniature figures were typically cast in resin or resin-barium sulphate blends and individually hand-painted to capture a lifelike texture and appearance.
This figurine is made from cold-cast resin mixed with a mineral filler (frequently a barium sulphate compound).
The studio chose this specific compound material because it allowed them to capture exceptionally fine details—like the bumps on the frog's skin and the delicate texturing of the lily pad—while keeping the piece sturdy and mimicking the cold, substantial weight of natural stone or porcelain. After being cast, the entire piece was finished by being painted by hand.
Here are the core details regarding your Country Artists figurine:
• True Name: "Common Frog on Lily Pad" (part of their British Wildlife miniature series).
• Year of Release: Circa 1992 – 1996 (the height of their miniature wildlife collections).
• Place it Was Made: Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England, where the Country Artists design studios and primary manufacturing took place.
• Original Retail Price: Roughly £8.00 to £12.00 GBP (equivalent to about $12.00 to $20.00 USD at the time of creation).
• Value Today: $10.00 to $25.00 USD depending entirely on condition. Because these miniature pieces were mass-produced in large quantities before the company closed down, they remain highly affordable.
The Canadian value for this figurine is between $14.00 and $35.00 CAD today.
When it was originally created in the mid-1990s, its original retail price was approximately $16.00 to $27.00 CAD (based on historical exchange rates for the British pound at the time).
Because these miniature Country Artists pieces were produced in large quantities, they remain highly accessible, with their current secondary market value holding steady right around or slightly above their original retail cost depending on the condition of the paint and felt base.
• Base Diameter (Lily Pad): Approximately 5.0 cm to 5.5 cm (2.0 to 2.2 inches)
• Height (Bottom of base to top of frog's head): Approximately 3.5 cm to 4.0 cm (1.4 to 1.6 inches)
Because it belongs to their miniature collection designed for display shelves, curiosity cabinets, or small desks, it fits comfortably right in the palm of your hand.
This miniature figurine typically weighs between 40 grams and 65 grams (approximately 1.4 to 2.3 ounces).
My price is $12 As you can see top to bottom is like new.
