Bridge and Spout Bottle; Frog Appliqués


Celebrating nature and water, this vessel's flattened globular body features eight frogs arranged around the shoulder of the vessel facing inward toward the spout. At the base of the spout is a lightly incised wave pattern alluding to a spring or to the essential life-giving properties water supplies.
