Basket of Colored Eggs Limoges Box Figurine

A basket filled with colored eggs captures the bounty of the henhouse and the fun of spring. This hand-painted porcelain Limoges box was crafted in Limoges, France.

Gathered at Sunrise

Collecting eggs is one of the oldest farm chores, done each morning with a basket on the arm. This miniature shows the basket brimming, with eggs in cheerful colors that also bring to mind dyed eggs on Easter morning.

From the Henhouse to the Hutch

• Hand-painted porcelain made in Limoges, France
• A fit for farm, kitchen or Easter collections
• Pairs with hen, rooster and milk bottle pieces

On the Breakfast Table

Set it beside the coffee pot on a country hutch, in an Easter centerpiece, or on a windowsill in a farmhouse kitchen. It makes a lovely present for someone who keeps backyard chickens, an Easter morning surprise, or a thank-you for a neighbor who shares fresh eggs.

Painted After the Kiln

Many Limoges boxes are painted by hand only after the white porcelain has been fired, and their metal mounts are then fitted by hand as well.
