Rochard London Telephone Booth Limoges Box with Phone
A British telephone booth stands ready for a call home, and the phone inside lifts out. Rochard shaped and painted this porcelain Limoges box by hand in Limoges, France, a true icon of British streets.
Calling From Covent Garden
The classic K6 telephone kiosk, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in the 1930s, became one of the best known pieces of street design in the world. Though mobile phones have replaced most of them, the booths still dot London streets and village greens. Many have been turned into tiny libraries and coffee stands.

On Hold on the Travel Shelf
Set it on a desk beside a framed London map, on a shelf of travel souvenirs or near the home phone for a little joke. It makes a fitting present for an Anglophile, a student heading off to study in England, or a friend who still calls home every Sunday without fail.
