Vintage Black Typewriter Porcelain Limoges Box

An old black typewriter sits ready for the next story, waiting for a fresh sheet of paper. This writer's classic is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France.

Clack, Clack, Ding

Before keyboards and screens, typewriters filled newsrooms and offices with their unmistakable rhythm. This black machine brings that era back to the desk, in porcelain that never needs a new ribbon.

Gifts for Wordsmiths

It makes a fitting present for a novelist finishing a manuscript, a journalist retiring after a long career, a secretary or office manager, or an English teacher. It also suits a screenwriter, a poet or a friend who still keeps an old machine in the closet.

Fired, Then Painted

Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat, and the painting is done by hand afterward. Set this typewriter on a writing desk, a library shelf or a home office bookcase, where it can remind every writer in the house to keep the words coming.
