Napoleon Pastry on Plate Porcelain Limoges Box
A Napoleon pastry, the French mille-feuille with its thin layers of crisp pastry and cream, sits on a dish ready for afternoon tea. Its porcelain was painted by hand in Limoges, France, and it looks almost good enough to eat.
A Thousand Layers of Delicacy
Mille-feuille means a thousand leaves, and the name fits a pastry built of delicate sheets stacked with cream. It is a jewel of the French patisserie case, and this porcelain version captures that elegance with careful painting by hand, so each slice comes out with its own slight differences.

Sweet Notes for the Baker
This is a fun present for a pastry chef, a home baker who has mastered puff pastry, or a graduate of culinary school. It also suits a friend who never skips dessert, a cafe owner, or anyone who still dreams of a morning spent at a Paris patisserie.
Set it on a kitchen shelf beside cookbooks, on a dessert buffet or in a china cabinet with teacups. Dessert pieces like this one add a playful touch to a collection, and this one never goes stale. It even makes a cheeky reminder to save room for something sweet after dinner.
