Big Brown Shopping Bag with Champagne Limoges Box

A bottle of champagne pokes out of a big brown shopping bag in this festive porcelain scene, as if someone just picked up supplies for a party. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, mixing a shopping theme with a celebration one.

Picking Up the Bubbly

There is something fun about that last stop on the way to a party, when the champagne goes into the bag and the night is about to begin. This piece captures that moment of anticipation in a warm brown tone.

Party Supplies, Porcelain Style

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a shopping bag, wine or celebration collection
• Pairs with champagne bucket, toasting glass and cake pieces

Ready for the Toast

Set it on a bar cart, a buffet or a bookshelf near the wine glasses. It makes a fun present for a host who always brings the champagne, a couple celebrating an anniversary, a newly engaged pair, or a friend toasting a new home.

Hard-Paste and Fired Hot

Limoges boxes are made of hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat for a strong, bright body. That durability lets painters add fine touches like the bottle peeking from the bag.
