Happy Retirement Green Armchair Limoges Box with Newspaper
A green armchair waits with the morning newspaper folded on the seat, and for once there is no alarm clock and no commute. This Happy Retirement piece is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box figurine, made in Limoges, France.
The Newspaper Can Wait
After decades of rushing out the door, the simple pleasure of reading the paper slowly in a favorite chair says everything about retirement. The green chair and folded newspaper capture that first unhurried morning, all painted by hand onto fired porcelain.

The Next Chapter Begins
It suits a teacher closing out a final school year, a nurse finishing a long career, a colleague retiring after thirty years, or a parent hanging up the work clothes at last. Set it on a side table next to a real reading chair, on a den shelf, or on a desk at home where the paperwork is now strictly optional. Many retirees keep it beside photos from the farewell party, and it makes a lasting reminder from a team that will miss them.
A French Tradition
Small porcelain boxes have been popular since 18th-century France, and Limoges has made them since the late 1700s.
