Colorful Crayons Hand-Painted Limoges Box in Yellow

A yellow carton packed with colorful crayons is the subject of this porcelain box, a playful salute to art class and the first pictures many of us ever drew. Painters in Limoges, France, decorated this porcelain Limoges box by hand, one bright crayon at a time.

Every Color in the Box

The crayon carton is instantly recognizable, and it brings back memories of new school supplies in September. Here each crayon tip is painted by hand, so the familiar rainbow lineup becomes a small work of art in its own right. The bright yellow box frames the colors just the way the real thing does.

For the Studio and the Classroom

• Hand-painted porcelain from the town of Limoges, France

• Pairs well with paint palette, easel and pencil pieces

Thank You, Teacher

This box makes a memorable thank-you for an art teacher, a retiring elementary teacher or a painting instructor. Working artists, illustrators and graphic designers often keep one on the studio desk as a nod to where it all began. It also marks a first art show, a design school graduation, or the opening of a new classroom. Set it on a bookshelf among sketchbooks or on a desk beside a cup of real colored pencils.
