Uncle Sam Hat Patriotic Limoges Box

Uncle Sam's famous top hat, in the red, white and blue of the American flag, makes this Limoges box a proud patriotic piece, decorated by hand in Limoges, France.

Stars, Stripes and a Tall Hat

Uncle Sam has stood for the United States since the early 1800s, and his tall hat became part of the image through cartoons and the famous recruiting posters. The hat alone is enough to call up the whole character, which is what makes it such a good porcelain subject.

Celebrating the Red, White and Blue

It suits the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Flag Day and Veterans Day, and it makes a fitting thank you for a service member, a new citizen, or a civics teacher. Politicians, history buffs and anyone with a flag on the front porch tend to love it.

A Patriotic Lineup

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a patriotic, Americana or hat collection
• Pairs with flags, eagles, the Liberty Bell and the Statue of Liberty

Set it on a mantel from Memorial Day through Labor Day, on an office desk year round, or on a shelf beside framed family service photos. A box made in France with an American icon is also a nice nod to the long friendship between the two countries.
