Spinning World Globe Map Porcelain Limoges Box
A world globe with its map of continents and oceans has been shaped into a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box. Made in Limoges, France, it carries the whole planet in the palm of your hand.
Around the World
For centuries, globes have sat in libraries and studies, inspiring dreams of distant places. The map is painted by hand here, so the colors and the outlines of the continents vary slightly from one box to the next.
Who Has Seen the World
It is a perfect send-off for a graduate heading abroad, a thank-you for a travel agent, or a retirement present for someone planning to see every continent. Geography teachers, pilots and foreign service officers will appreciate it. It also suits a couple marking a milestone anniversary trip.

Fired at the Heart of France
Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat, so a small world like this one keeps its bright colors for generations. Set it on a study desk, a library shelf or beside a framed travel map.
