Cherub with Baby Bottle Limoges Box
A chubby little cherub holds a baby bottle, as if ready to help with the midnight feeding. This tender scene is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, crafted and colored by hand in Limoges, France.
Heaven Sent at Feeding Time
Cherubs have watched over babies in paintings and nursery prints for centuries, and here one has taken on a very practical job. Pairing the angel with a baby bottle turns a classic symbol of protection into something sweet and a little funny, the way the first weeks with a newborn often are.

Blessings for the New Arrival
Bring it to a baby shower, a baptism or a first birthday party, or send it to new grandparents who are counting the days until the next visit. It also makes a warm thank-you for a doula, a midwife or a labor and delivery nurse who helped a family through a long night.
On a nursery dresser or a shelf above the rocking chair, the cherub keeps a quiet watch. Many parents later move it to their own bedroom as a reminder of those first bottles at dawn.
