Mistletoe Christmas Boot Porcelain Limoges Box
A small porcelain Christmas boot, tied up with a sprig of mistletoe, brings the old kissing-under-the-doorway custom right onto your shelf. It is a hand-painted Limoges box, shaped and painted in Limoges, France, that opens like a tiny boot-top treasure chest.
Hung by the Chimney With Care
Boots and stockings have been part of the Christmas Eve ritual for generations, waiting by the hearth for something sweet by morning. This one keeps that idea in porcelain, with the green sprig of mistletoe giving it a wintry, romantic note rather than a toy-shop feel.

From Advent to Twelfth Night
Bring it out when the tree goes up and leave it on the mantel, a hall table or a lit curio shelf until the decorations come down in January. Set beside a holiday card for a neighbor, a sister-in-law or a December bride, it becomes the small present people remember. Because it is porcelain rather than fabric, it comes back out looking just as fresh every season.
