Mistletoe Snow Boot Christmas Stocking Limoges Box

A Christmas stocking shaped like a cozy snow boot, trimmed with a sprig of mistletoe, makes this a charming winter keepsake. Brushed by hand onto porcelain in Limoges, France, this Limoges box comes from a design that has been retired.

Kiss Under the Mistletoe

Mistletoe has been a symbol of affection and good luck at Christmas for centuries, and here it decorates a boot-shaped stocking ready for Santa's visit. The snow boot shape adds a playful winter twist to the classic stocking. It is both romantic and festive.

From Doorway to Mantel

Set it beside real stockings on the hearth, in a holiday curio or near a doorway where mistletoe might really hang. It makes a sweet present for a couple's first Christmas, a December engagement, a ski lodge host or a winter bride. Sweethearts often keep it out well into the new year.

Little Boxes, Long History

Porcelain has been made in Limoges since the late 1700s, after fine white kaolin clay turned up near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768. A cheerful winter boot carries that long tradition into the holidays.
