Green Oval Limoges Box with Painted Cherries
A cluster of painted cherries sits on a green oval ground, bringing a bit of orchard color to a piece small enough to hold in one hand. This is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, made and decorated in Limoges, France.
Cherry Season on the Lid
The oval shape is simple on purpose. With no fussy edges competing for attention, the eye goes straight to the fruit, and the green background gives the cherries a crisp frame. Because each box is brushed by hand, the fruit on one piece never sits quite the same way as on the next.
An Orchard Shelf Companion
- Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France

Bowl Full of Occasions
Set it on a kitchen windowsill, a hutch shelf or a breakfast nook table where the green can catch the morning light. It suits a June birthday, a thank-you for a neighbor who shares her pie recipes, or a housewarming for someone with a cherry pattern on every tea towel. Life is a bowl of cherries, as the old song goes, and this little oval keeps that cheerful thought close at hand.
