Keren Kopal
Green Frog Rowing a Leaf Trinket Box
This item is part of the Frog Trinket Box Series and part of the Keren Kopal collection.
This charming trinket box features a whimsical frog in a dynamic pose, appearing to row a boat-shaped lily pad using a second, smaller leaf as an oar. The frog is finished in a vibrant mix of olive and lime green enamels with a subtle marbleized texture on its underbelly. Its eyes are set with deep emerald-green crystals, while a series of smaller, sparkling lime-green crystals accent the frog's fingers and toes. The "boat" leaf showcases rich forest green tones with warm, earthy orange highlights along the undulating, gold-trimmed rim, which is further embellished with a row of shimmering crystals.
As a blend of fine craftsmanship and playful motion, this piece serves as a sophisticated accent for any vanity, desk, or display shelf. The unique "rowing" theme and shimmering crystal details make it an ideal gift for collectors of animal figurines or those who appreciate the storytelling nature of Faberge-style art. Whether used to store a tiny memento or simply to brighten a room with its adventurous spirit, this hand-painted frog brings a touch of elegance and character to your home decor.
