Libraries, Classrooms and Reading Nooks
Set it on a bookshelf between favorite volumes, on a reading nook table or on a desk in a home library. It makes a thoughtful present for a teacher, a librarian, a reading specialist or a bookseller, and a fitting end of year thank-you for a book club leader. Writers often enjoy one near the keyboard as a quiet mascot.
Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat, which gives it the smooth white surface these painted scenes need. Every bear and book is then finished by hand.
