Gingerbread Man Holiday Porcelain Limoges Box

Fresh from an imaginary oven, a gingerbread man stands ready to brighten the Christmas season. This porcelain Limoges box takes the cookie's familiar outline and was hand-painted in Limoges, France, so it brings holiday baking to a shelf without a single crumb.

Run, Run, As Fast As You Can

Everyone knows the old tale of the cookie who ran from the baker. This little fellow stays put, which makes him a far easier guest at the holiday table. The figure shape alone is enough to say Christmas Joy, the phrase this piece has long been known by.

A Spot in the Kitchen Hutch

Set him in a kitchen hutch, on a baking shelf or beside the cookie jar from early December onward. He suits the friend who runs the neighborhood cookie swap, a grandmother famous for her gingerbread, or anyone who measures the season by how many batches come out of the oven.

Sweet Company on the Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain made in Limoges, France
• Pairs well with gingerbread house, candy cane and Christmas cookie pieces
• A cheerful addition to a holiday baking or dessert themed grouping

He is a small, happy reminder of warm kitchens and sugared fingers each winter.
