Large Candy Apple Porcelain Limoges Box

Bright as anything sold at a county fair, this large candy apple is made entirely of porcelain, with no sticky fingers involved. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and its generous size lets it anchor a shelf of sweets.

A Fairground Favorite

Candy apples belong to October evenings, harvest festivals and the midway lights of a summer fair. The larger scale of this design gives the painters more room to work, so the finished piece reads clearly from across the room.

Sweet Shelf Neighbors

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France

• Fits a dessert, fall harvest or carnival treats collection

Bobbing for Occasions

Bring it out for a Halloween party, set it on the Thanksgiving buffet, or give it to a teacher, baker or neighbor who hosts the best autumn get-together on the block. A kitchen hutch, a candy dish table or a fall mantel with gourds and leaves all make good homes for it. Because it is the large size, it works as the center of a sweets display, with smaller confections arranged around it.
