Violin Playing Frog in a Tuxedo Limoges Box

Dressed in a sharp tuxedo, a frog plays the violin in this charming little concert of a Limoges box. It is hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France, and it brings a touch of the concert hall to any shelf.

Croaking a Concerto

A frog in formal wear with a violin under its chin is the kind of joke that never gets old. It turns the pond's loudest singer into a serious soloist, ready to take a bow before an audience of lily pads.

First Chair Pairings

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a frog, music or orchestra collection
• Pairs with pianos, mandolins, sheet music and other frog musicians

Bravo Moments

Give it to a violinist after a recital, an orchestra member at the end of the season, a music teacher, or a symphony subscriber who never misses opening night. It also suits a formal anniversary dinner, a black tie birthday or a frog collector who wants something dressed for the occasion.

Set it on a piano, a music stand shelf or a study desk beside a program from a favorite concert. Frog collectors often gather musicians to form a whole band, and this tuxedo clad violinist is a natural first chair.
