Little Pig on Green Hand-Painted Limoges Box
A little pig stands on a patch of green on this playful porcelain box, as content as any pig on a sunny farm. It was painted by hand in Limoges, France, and is a genuine Limoges box sized for a crowded shelf.
This Little Piggy
Pigs are among the most collected farm animals, partly for their humor and partly because they stand for good luck and plenty in many places. This small one keeps the subject simple and friendly.

Farmhouse Kitchen Favorite
A farmhouse kitchen shelf, a rustic hutch or a windowsill above the sink is a natural home for it. Give it to a pig collector, a friend who has just moved to the country, or anyone heading to the county fair every summer.
Porcelain With Deep Roots
Limoges porcelain owes its start to the kaolin found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768. Since the late 1700s the region has turned that fine white clay into pieces like this one.
