Basket of Fruit Porcelain Limoges Box
A woven basket overflows with colorful fruit, the kind of bounty you would find on a farmhouse table at the height of the season. This bright piece is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, made in Limoges, France.
Picked at the Peak
Fruit baskets have long stood for plenty and hospitality, which is why they turn up in still-life paintings and on welcome tables alike. Here the weave of the basket and each piece of fruit are painted separately by hand, giving the little heap a lively mix of color.

A Basket of Good Wishes
Bring it as a housewarming present, a thank-you for a dinner host, or a birthday treat for a cook who loves the farmers market. It also suits a dietitian, a grocer or anyone who keeps a real fruit bowl full on the counter.
Year-Round Color
Because fruit belongs to every season, it works on a dining room sideboard in winter as well as on a kitchen shelf in high summer. Place it near a window where the painted colors catch the light.
