Retired Large Pheasant Game Bird Porcelain Limoges

Larger than most bird boxes, this porcelain pheasant shows off ornate, colorful plumage with real presence. The retired design was painted by hand on a Limoges box in Limoges, France.

A Grander Game Bird

The extra size gives the painter room to work, and the pheasant's plumage makes the most of it. Where a small bird box tucks into a cabinet, this one stands on its own as a centerpiece, the kind of piece that draws visitors across the room.

Country House Style

Pheasants have long been a symbol of country estates and autumn shooting parties, and their image appears on everything from china patterns to tapestry pillows. This box carries that tradition into a den, a library or a dining room sideboard.

Lodge and Library

• A retired design, hand-painted in Limoges, France, in a larger size
• Fits a game bird, hunting or country house collection
• Partners well with the smaller pheasant box

It makes a handsome present for a hunter's milestone birthday, a lodge owner or a family that gathers for opening weekend every fall. Set beside the smaller pheasant, the two give a mantel or sideboard a finished, coordinated look.
