Large Fruit Basket Porcelain Limoges Box

A large basket brimming with colorful fruit makes this porcelain box a harvest table in miniature. Every piece of fruit was painted by hand in Limoges, France, on this generous Limoges basket.

Bounty of the Orchard

A full fruit basket has long stood for abundance and hospitality, the first thing set out to welcome a guest. The larger size here gives room for a lively mix of fruit piled high. It is a cheerful subject that brightens any shelf, kitchen or dining room.

Welcome to the Table

A Long Tradition in Porcelain

Since kaolin was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768, Limoges has been making porcelain, and fruit has been a favorite subject for its painters.
