Its broad face, protruding eyes, folded legs, and wide planting opening are finished in glossy white ceramic with bright green spots and feet. Amber-and-black eyes give the frog an especially expressive look, while the rounded body makes it substantial enough to stand alone as a decorative object.

The playful form recalls the celebrated frog planters of French ceramicist Jean Roger. This example is by Schmid Design Folio, with a hand-painted mark and “Made in Japan” label on the underside. It would bring a lively accent to a bookshelf, sunroom, or plant-filled sitting room.
