Humpty Dumpty Hand-Painted Porcelain Limoges Box

Humpty Dumpty, the round and cheerful egg of the old nursery rhyme, is ready for the great fall every rhyme fan remembers. Painted by hand in Limoges, France, this porcelain box brings the old verse to life.

All the King's Horses

The rhyme of Humpty Dumpty has been recited for more than two hundred years, and the egg-shaped hero is one of the best known characters in English verse. This box captures his good humor, and since each one is painted by hand, his expression and colors vary slightly from piece to piece.

A Rhyme for New Beginnings

It makes a charming present for a baby shower or christening, a sweet first piece for a nursery bookshelf, and a fun memento for a grandparent who reads bedtime stories. It also suits a librarian, a picture book author or illustrator, or a teacher who still recites the classics from memory.

Set it beside Mother Goose, Little Bo Peep or other storybook pieces, on a bookshelf with well-loved picture books, or in a curio cabinet among other egg-shaped boxes. A humorous present for a friend recovering from a fall, it reminds everyone to laugh, get back up and put the pieces together again.
