Watchful Toad – Hand-Sculpted Ceramic Toad on Textured Plinth
Watchful Toad is a striking ceramic sculpture by Canadian artist Bob Acton, capturing the quiet presence and grounded energy of a perched toad. Hand-sculpted in high-fire clay and finished in a bold matte orange with black oxide detailing, the piece balances expressive surface texture with anatomical character. The toad sits alert atop a textured black plinth, its posture still but full of life—as though poised between camouflage and contemplation.
This sculptural ceramic toad is part of Acton’s nature-inspired series celebrating the overlooked power and symbolic richness of amphibians. Ideal for collectors of contemporary wildlife art, ceramic animal sculptures, or handmade décor with personality and depth.
