Retired Little Chick in an Easter Basket Limoges Box

A fluffy little chick peeks out of an Easter basket on this springtime porcelain piece. It is a retired design, painted by hand in Limoges, France, in soft seasonal colors.

Hatched for Easter

Chicks and baskets are two of the oldest symbols of Easter, standing for new life and the joy of spring mornings. Put together, they make a scene that feels like the first warm day of the year, when the lilacs bloom and the egg hunt is about to begin.

The Spring Shelf

• A retired design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Fits an Easter, spring or baby bird collection
• Pairs with bunny, egg and tulip pieces

Brunch and Baskets

Set it in the middle of the Easter brunch table, tuck it into a grown-up's Easter basket, or give it to a grandmother who decorates for every season. It also makes a sweet welcome for a spring baby, a reminder of the season they arrived.

Because it is no longer in production, seasonal collectors keep an eye out for this one. Bring it out each spring with the pastel eggs and the bunny figures, and it quickly becomes part of the family's Easter tradition.
