Large Ear of Corn Limoges Box with Ladybug
A large ear of corn, joined by a little ladybug, celebrates the height of harvest season. It is a porcelain Limoges box, with its kernels and ladybug painted by hand in Limoges, France.
Knee High by the Fourth of July
Sweet corn is the taste of late summer, from roadside stands to backyard cookouts. Here the ear forms the box, and the little ladybug brings a touch of good luck to the harvest. Each kernel and leaf is brushed on by hand.
Harvest Table Treasure
Set it on a Thanksgiving table among gourds and candles, on a kitchen shelf through the fall, or on a farmhouse windowsill. It makes a fine present for a farmer, a county fair fan, an Iowa or Nebraska native, or the host of a summer corn roast.
The Farmhouse Collection
- Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
- Fits a vegetable, harvest or ladybug collection
- Pairs with banana with ladybug, gourd and pumpkin boxes
Limoges porcelain is hard-paste and fired at very high heat, so even a large, textured shape like an ear of corn holds its fine detail. The painting is added once the firing is done.
