Mother Goose in a Brown Hat Porcelain Limoges Box
Mother Goose, the storyteller behind so many beloved rhymes, wears a brown hat on this porcelain figurine box. The goose and her hat are hand-painted in Limoges, France, ready to tell a tale from the bookshelf.
Once Upon a Rhyme
Mother Goose has been part of storytime for generations, and this brown hat version gives her a classic, homespun look. The feathers and hat are painted by hand, so each goose carries her own small differences.
A Storybook Shelf
- Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
- Fits a fairy tale, nursery rhyme or bird collection
- Pairs with the green hat Mother Goose and other storybook pieces
Gathered at Storytime
It looks lovely on a bookshelf of storybooks, a reading nook or a nursery shelf beside a rocking chair. It makes a sweet present for a new grandmother, a librarian, a storyteller or anyone who reads aloud with joy. It also suits a baby shower with a storybook theme, or a retirement for a reading teacher who shared the rhymes with generations of students.
Several versions of Mother Goose exist, and collectors often pair the brown hat with the green hat for a matched set that looks like two old friends at a garden gate.
