Circus Elephant Hand-Painted Limoges Box

Straight from the big top, this circus elephant is dressed in bright show colors and ready for the spotlight. Every bit of that showy color was applied by hand on this porcelain Limoges box from Limoges, France.

The Star of the Center Ring

Circus elephants were once the headline act under the canvas, and this piece keeps that sense of parade and fanfare. The colorful finish gives it a lively, festive character that brightens any shelf it lands on.

Trunk Up for Luck

Elephants are often kept as good luck charms, which makes this one a popular present for a new home, a new job or a birthday. Give it a spot on a bookshelf, a desk or a game room shelf where its colors can do their work.

Elephant Through the Kiln

Many Limoges boxes are painted by hand only after the white porcelain has been fired, and their metal mounts are fitted by hand as well. Each one passes through several sets of skilled hands before it is finished.
