One of my new favorite accessories - is actually something that I have had in my house for years - Jean Roger’s ceramic frogs! I had a renewed interest in the after spying the happy little frogs in Kate Brodky’s UES store.
Frenchman Jean Roger started his ceramic studio in Paris in 1947. The frog planters became quite popular in the 1960’s, and became a favorite of Jacqueline Onassis and Coco Chanel. Today, his work is continued by his son Francois. For a peak into his studio - click here.
I love them on their own, or filled with a little maidenhair fern.
If you are not following Kate Brodsky’s store on instagram — here you go! She sells a few pieces by Jean Roger. I particularly love these seaweed candlestick holders !
