Frogs and Turtles Limoges Boxes
Frogs and turtles Limoges boxes stock a small pond with a surprising amount of personality. Frogs lounge on lily pads, perch on mushrooms and a green log, and one rides a snail with total confidence. Others dress for the evening in tuxedos, sawing at a cello or a violin, while a jazz frog leans into his trumpet. Fairy tale fans will spot several frog princes, tall and short, crowned and waiting. A king frog holds court, a top hatted Mr Frog keeps up appearances and a fishing frog sits with his line in the water.
A Monet water lily frog borrows from Giverny, and three frogs share a single pad with no room to spare. The turtles take their time. A sea turtle rests on the sand with an egg that lifts out, a mother turtle walks with her baby, and a gardener turtle carries home lettuce. One reads a book, one rides a cart and another wears painted flowers on its shell. Every piece is Hand-Painted porcelain from Limoges, France, with a hinged lid and clasp, so line them along a garden room shelf or by the aquarium.
