Extremely Rare Large Green Uranium Glass Cambridge Melon Boy from the Depression Era 1920/30’s. This is a large heavy Uranium Glass Melon Boy Figurine with a built in flower frog. It was made by the Cambridge Glass Company in the Depression Era. This figural flower frog is almost 100 years old. Some call it a Water Melon Boy because he has a melon between his legs and he is holding a bowl with a pattern around the bowl. The chubby boy is standing naked. He is absolutely gorgeous in this condition. There are air bubbles and smooth mould lines from the glass making process typical for glass made in the Depression Era. There is one small crack near one of the flower holes of the built in Flower frog. There is one small flat smooth chip near one of the flower holes and another two small nibbles near two other flower holes. All these are on the outside edge of the flower frog. There are no cracks in the Figurine itself. The figurine stands almost 10 inches. The flower frog measures 5.5 inches. Across at the bottom. He flower frog is 1.5 inches. It weighs 2.3 kgs or just over 5 pounds. The figurine is made of thick glass and is very heavy. This rare Melon Boy has been in my collection for a long time, but now some one else can enjoy him. Don’t come up in any colour. The uranium colour is very very scarce. Have a look at all the photos to see the lovely colour and condition. Some of the photos have been taken under a black light so you can see how it glows like crazy. I know what it is like to get broken items and feel bitterly disappointed when they are not wrapped properly. I will double box this lovely green uranium glass. Melon Boy figurine flower frog. To protect it, and make sure you get him in the same beautiful condition he is in now.
