Japanese 1930s Orange Cockatoo Small Ceramic Flower Frog turtle basket This hand thrown sugar bowl--whichYes, this fabulous bright red orange and black hand painted ceramic flower frog could perfectly well be used to hold a few flowers in place, but I love it just perched on the windowsill, keeping an eye on things inside and out.
