Cinematic Cameraman Porcelain Limoges Box
A cameraman stands ready behind his movie camera on this hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, a salute to the craft of filmmaking. It was made in Limoges, France, and it captures the moment just before someone calls action.
Lights, Camera, Porcelain
Behind every great film is a crew member framing the shot, and this piece celebrates that unsung role. The cameraman and his equipment bring to mind old Hollywood sound stages as much as modern independent sets, which gives the box an appeal that crosses generations.

For the Director's Chair
Many Limoges boxes are painted by hand after the white porcelain has been fired, and a scene like this rewards the patience that takes. It makes a clever present for a film school graduate, a wedding videographer, a television producer, or a friend who organizes movie night every Friday. Display it near the screen in a media room, on a desk in an editing suite or on a bookshelf lined with film history books. Awards season is a fine time to give it, when everyone is talking about their favorite pictures.
