if you're taking anyone to Ikea this weekend, check out their selection. they sometimes have nice stuff.

and there's always the BBG gift shop.

watch out for drainage with IKEA pots; they often don't have holes at the bottom. (i have an aloe in one, with lots of rocks in the bottom, put in before the soil. it doesn't need to be watered often, so it's been fine, but it is easy to drown a plant without drain holes.)

Park Florists @ 158 7th Avenue By 1st street) in the Slope) has nice pots. ZuZu's on 5th Avenue around 6th street has them too.I'd check out Park Florists.

I broke one of those in a thrift store once!
Great frogs, very fragile. And a porcelain Asian import, not likely to be found at Ikea, BBG or a conventional florist.
I'd check Chinatown stores or groovy second hand places, like that guy on Fifth Ave in the slope almost across from the school - somewhere around 5th St. Do you have to replace it before she finds out?
Cause you could also just ask her.

oh thank you guys for all the suggestions .

you might find it on ebay
but if you're ever in the suburbs of Washington DC, I can tell you where I broke that one -- it was on consignment and a guy imported them . . .

too late to be of any help here, but the little antiques/garden store on vanderbilt across from the met has a good selection.
