Mother Goose Storybook Bird Limoges Box

This porcelain box shows Mother Goose, the familiar figure from storybook rhymes, as a farm goose with a gentle, motherly look. The feathers and details are hand-painted in Limoges, France.

Tales From the Barnyard

Mother Goose has been reading rhymes to listeners for centuries, and this box gives her a home among the farm birds. The painting is done by hand, so each goose carries her own small variations in color and expression.

The Fairy Tale Flock

Storybook characters make a gentle theme for a reading nook, and this goose sits nicely with the brown hat and green hat versions. It also fits a farm bird collection beside hens, ducks and roosters, making it a bridge between the fairy tale shelf and the barnyard.

A Rhyme for Every Occasion

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a fairy tale, goose or farm bird collection
• A fitting present for a new grandmother or a librarian

Set it on a bookshelf, a nursery shelf or a reading table beside a well-worn book of rhymes. It also makes a sweet thank-you for a preschool teacher, a storytime volunteer at the library, or anyone who still knows every word of their favorite verses by heart.
