Blue Surfer Car with Surfboard Limoges Box

A blue car with a surfboard strapped on top is headed for the coast, windows down and the radio up. Painted by hand in Limoges, France, this porcelain Limoges box captures the freedom of a beach day road trip.

Chasing the Morning Swell

Surf culture has always been tied to the car that gets you to the waves, loaded with boards and sandy towels. This blue cruiser carries that spirit in miniature, and because each box is painted by hand, the shade of blue and the board's colors vary a little from piece to piece.

Pacific Coast Highway Dreams

It belongs on a shelf in a beach cottage, a surf shop counter or the desk of someone who checks the surf report before their coffee. It suits a longtime surfer, a California native living far from the ocean, or a friend who just bought a first board and spends every weekend paddling out.

Packing the Beach Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits surf, beach and road trip collections
• Pairs with lighthouse, beach chair and sailboat pieces

Give it as a birthday present for a beach lover, a summer graduation memento, or a send-off for a friend moving to the coast. Car collectors enjoy it too, since few vehicle pieces carry such a clear sense of adventure and salt air.
