Race Car on Track Porcelain Limoges Box

A race car takes the turn on its own stretch of track in this hand-painted porcelain Limoges box. It was made in Limoges, France, and it brings the speed of the circuit to a shelf that stays perfectly still.

Green Flag Moment

From Le Mans to Indianapolis, the roar of a racing engine has drawn crowds for more than a century. The car and the track are both painted by hand here, so the colors and fine details vary a little from box to box.

Pit Crew Picks

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A fit for a motorsport, car or racing collection
• Pairs with checkered flag, sports car and trophy boxes

Victory Lane Ideas

Give it to the friend who never misses the Monaco Grand Prix, the mechanic who rebuilds engines on weekends, or the driver who just earned a license. It is a fun retirement nod for a racing official and a reminder of a first trip to the speedway. Set it on a desk, in a garage office or on a den shelf beside model cars.

Built to Last Laps

Many Limoges boxes are painted by hand only after the white porcelain has been fired, and their metal mounts are fitted by hand as well. That slower process is part of why each car crosses the finish line a little different.
