New York City Taxi Limoges Box

Few things say Manhattan faster than a yellow New York City taxi weaving through midtown traffic. This porcelain cab captures that famous ride as a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France.

Taxi to Times Square

The New York yellow cab has been part of the city's look for generations, appearing in countless films, postcards and Broadway backdrops. Here it becomes a small porcelain keepsake, with its color painted by hand in France, an ocean away from Fifth Avenue.

Fare for the Occasion

It is a natural memento after a weekend of shows on Broadway, a honeymoon in the city, or a first visit to see the Rockefeller Center tree. Former New Yorkers who moved away often like a reminder of home, and current residents enjoy the joke of owning a cab they never have to chase in the rain. Set it on a desk, a bookshelf beside a skyline print, or a travel shelf with souvenirs from other world cities, where it will draw plenty of nods from visitors.
