Two Teddy Bears on a Toy Drum Limoges Box
Two teddy bears share a seat on top of a toy drum, ready to tap out a marching tune. The bears, the drum and every painted detail on this porcelain Limoges box were finished by hand in Limoges, France.
Marching to Their Own Beat
A toy drum and a pair of teddy bears belong to the classic picture of the nursery and the toy shop, the kind of scene once found under many a Christmas tree. The two bears look like best friends sharing a moment, which gives the piece a warm, friendly feel. Drum and bears together make it a fun crossover between a teddy and a music collection.

A Box With Old Roots
In eighteenth-century France, small porcelain boxes were the fashion for carrying snuff, pills and beauty patches. Today the tradition lives on in playful subjects like these two bears.
