Small Asparagus Porcelain Limoges Box

Small asparagus spears, neat and fresh, bring the first green of spring to the shelf. This little vegetable is a porcelain Limoges box, painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Petite Spears of Spring

Asparagus season is short and eagerly awaited, especially in France where white and green spears fill the spring markets. This smaller box captures the vegetable in a compact form, with the spears and tips painted by hand.

A Cook's Companion

Tuck it beside the salt cellar on a kitchen counter, on a spice shelf, or among cookbooks. It is a charming present for a home cook, a chef, a vegetable gardener or a friend who hosts a spring dinner party, and it fits easily in a small space.

The Vegetable Garden Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a vegetable, kitchen or spring collection
• Pairs with the large asparagus, corn and gourd boxes

Collectors who own the large asparagus often add this small one so the pair sit side by side, like spears from early and late in the season. On its own, the small size makes it an easy addition to a crowded kitchen shelf.
