A Series of Laugh and Grow

Real animals, reimagined plump and cheerful — painted in lifelike detail, sculpted impossibly cute.

🐢

Chubby & Full of Character

Rounded, soft and undeniably cute — yet every scale, wrinkle and marking is hand-painted true to the real animal. The reaction it gets in person is always the same: so detailed, and so adorable.

Ready to Display

A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.

More at home in the water than most of its box-turtle relatives, the yellow pond turtle glides through ponds and marshes across East Asia, its olive shell set off by a broad golden stripe running back from each eye.

A Stripe of Gold

A bold yellow band runs along each side of the head and neck, standing out against the darker skin — the clear field mark that names this gentle turtle.

A Water-Lover

Unlike the land-leaning box turtles, the yellow pond turtle spends much of its time in the water, swimming and foraging in ponds, marshes and quiet streams.

Hardy and Adaptable

Tolerant of a range of conditions, it is one of the more adaptable East Asian turtles — though even it has declined under collection pressure.

Threatened Like Its Kin

Harvested for food, medicine and the pet trade, the yellow pond turtle is now endangered — a familiar pond-dweller quietly in need of help, here rounded into plump charm.

“An olive turtle with a stripe of gold, gliding through the reeds.”
