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".
