Black London Taxi Cab Limoges Box

Few vehicles say London quite like the black taxi cab, rounding the corner at Piccadilly in the rain. This classic cab is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, shaped and finished in Limoges, France.

Hail a Cab to Piccadilly

The black cab is as much a part of the London skyline as Big Ben and red double-decker buses. Its rounded, upright profile is instantly recognizable, and here it is captured in porcelain, painted by hand so each cab shows its own small variations.

The Knowledge on Display

London cabbies famously study the city's streets for years to pass The Knowledge, and the cab itself has become a symbol of that expertise. For anyone who has ridden in one, this piece brings back the sound of the meter and the friendly chat from the front seat.

Parked on the Travel Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a London, England or vehicle collection
• Pairs well with double-decker bus, phone box and Big Ben pieces

It makes a fine souvenir of a trip to England, a present for a friend moving to London, or a thank-you for an Anglophile who never misses a royal wedding. Set it on a bookshelf with travel guides or a desk beside a teacup.
