Hunting, Fishing and Lodge Limoges Boxes
Hunting, fishing and lodge Limoges boxes bring the cabin weekend indoors and set it on the mantel. A fly fishing rod, a creel with its catch, fisherman's boots and a hat hung with a lure cover the river, while pheasants in full plumage, mallard greenheads and a hunting horn answer the field. Every piece is porcelain from Limoges, France, painted by hand with a hinged lid and a metal clasp.
Anglers get a full tackle bag here. A fisherman rows his boat past the dock, another rides beside a small whale, and a Rochard lobster trap opens to release its lobster. For a lighter cast there is a fishing frog, a bunny with a rod and a polar bear angler from La Gloriette. The hunting side is just as particular. A Rochard shotgun shell comes with its own hunting license, a pheasant hunting case sits ready for the season, and a fox hunter rides across an oval lid. Campers can choose a tent, a campfire trunk, a blue kayak or the antler arch of Jackson Hole, and safari fans have binoculars, a map box and an African truck. Give one to the man who plans his calendar around opening day, then let it hold a spare fly or two on the gun cabinet shelf.
