Taxco Lapis, Brass and Silverplate Frog Ice Guard Pitcher c. 1950 – M2741
A really stunning design, its function so cunningly concealed: a frog sitting on leaf hovering over the spout. It takes a second, and first use perhaps, to realize it is a perfect ice-guard. And as if that perfect frog wasn’t enough, frogs are celebrated in the inlays that dot the pitcher’s circumference. Hand wrought. Measures 9 1/2″ x 7″ x 5″.
