Cheese and Wine Basket Porcelain Limoges Box
A basket packed with cheese and wine looks ready for a picnic in the French countryside. This porcelain box was painted by hand in Limoges, France, as a tribute to two of the country's great pleasures.
A Picnic in Provence
France is said to produce well over a thousand cheeses, and nearly every region has a wine to match. A basket holding both captures the French art of the long lunch, where good company and simple food matter more than the clock.
Pairings for the Shelf
- Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
- Fits a food, wine or gourmet kitchen collection
- Pairs with brie, baguette, corkscrew and grape pieces
Gourmet Occasions
Give it to a dinner party host, a cheesemonger, a couple back from a wine tour, or a friend who just completed a sommelier course. It is a fitting housewarming present for a home with a well-loved kitchen, and it sits happily on a kitchen shelf, a wine rack or a buffet near the cheese board.
The basket theme gives it a generous, welcoming feel, a little like arriving at a friend's door with something good to share.
