Picnic Basket with Wine and Bread Limoges Box

Packed with a bottle of wine and a loaf of bread, this picnic basket sets the scene for a long afternoon on the grass. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, with every element shaped and painted as one piece.

Lunch on the Lawn

A picnic with wine and bread is about as French as an afternoon can get, the kind of meal that stretches into evening without anyone noticing. This basket captures that relaxed spirit. It feels like a riverside lunch along the Seine or a quiet spot in a vineyard.

Baguettes and Bordeaux

From the Kaolin Hills

Porcelain has been fired in Limoges since the late 1700s, after fine white kaolin turned up near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768. Give this basket for an anniversary, an engagement or as a memento of a first date picnic, and set it on a kitchen hutch or beside a wine rack where it can spark a story.
