Red Tennis Racquet with Two Balls Limoges Box Figurine
A bright red tennis racquet lies on the court with two tennis balls at its side, strings drawn neatly across the head. This hand-painted porcelain Limoges box comes from Limoges, France, and its bold color makes it stand out on any trophy shelf.
Game, Set, Porcelain
Tennis has always had a touch of style about it, from the white clothes to the grass courts of summer tournaments. This box catches that spirit with a racquet ready for a match and a fresh pair of balls waiting nearby.

Center Court on the Desk
Place it on a desk at the club office, a bookcase beside trophies, or a shelf in the pro shop. It is a fine thank-you for a coach after a winning season, a birthday surprise for a doubles partner, or a way to mark a first tournament win. Players who watch the big tournaments every summer will smile at it.
A Long French Tradition
Small porcelain boxes became fashionable in 18th century France, when they held snuff, pills and beauty patches. Today the subjects range from sport to travel, but the craft is still centered in Limoges.
