Baseball Mitt with Ball Porcelain Limoges Box Figurine

A well-worn baseball mitt cradles a ball as if the final out has just been caught. This hand-painted porcelain Limoges box was made in Limoges, France, and it brings the feel of a summer ballpark to a quiet shelf.

Bottom of the Ninth

Few things say American summer like the snap of a ball landing in a leather glove. The mitt's laces and the ball's stitching are painted by hand here, so the shading and fine lines differ a little from box to box.

Dugout Favorites

It is a fine thank-you for a Little League coach, a congratulation for a high school player signing to a college team, or a retirement present for an umpire. Season ticket holders and the fan who has visited every major league stadium will understand it at once. It also suits a father and son who still play catch in the driveway.

The Trophy Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A fit for a baseball or sports collection
• Pairs with bat, cap and ballpark themed boxes

Display it in a den, on an office desk or beside a signed ball and a team photo. It holds the spirit of opening day all year long, even when the season is over and the snow is falling.
