Graduation Cap on a Book Porcelain Limoges Box

A graduation cap rests on top of a closed book, marking the moment all those late nights finally pay off. This is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, built to remember a commencement long after the gown is returned.

Tassel Turned

The mortarboard and the book together tell the whole story of a degree: years of reading, writing and studying, then one proud walk across the stage. It is a simple image that every graduate and every proud parent understands. Many families pick one up for each graduate in the household as the years go by.

Honors on the Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Belongs with school, books and milestone themed pieces
• Sits well beside a framed diploma or class photo

Every Kind of Commencement

It fits a high school send off, a college graduation, a master's degree, a doctorate or a nursing pinning ceremony. Teachers retiring after a long career appreciate it as well. Place it on a home office bookcase, a dorm room shelf or the desk where the next chapter begins.

Small Boxes, Long History

Porcelain has been produced in Limoges since the late 1700s, after fine white kaolin clay was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768.
