Bald Eagle Patriotic Porcelain Limoges Box

The American bald eagle, symbol of the nation, takes shape here in a proud, watchful pose. Painters in Limoges, France, brought this national bird to life as a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box with a sturdy, upright presence.

Wings Over the Republic

Chosen as the national emblem in 1782, the bald eagle appears on the Great Seal and countless flags, coins and medals. Its white head and dark body make it one of the most recognizable birds in the world, and that strong look carries well into porcelain. Once close to vanishing from the lower forty-eight states, the eagle made a celebrated comeback, which gives a piece like this an extra layer of meaning for those who follow conservation stories.
