Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Porcelain Limoges Box

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, guardian of the North Carolina coast, rises tall in this porcelain tribute. Painted by hand in Limoges, France, this Limoges box brings a famous Outer Banks landmark indoors.

Guarding the Graveyard of the Atlantic

The waters off Cape Hatteras are so dangerous that sailors call them the Graveyard of the Atlantic, and the lighthouse there has warned ships away from the shoals for generations. It is the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States and one of the best known on the East Coast.

Outer Banks Memories

This piece makes a fine souvenir for anyone who has vacationed on the Outer Banks, climbed the lighthouse steps or watched a sunrise over Hatteras Island. It also suits a coast guard veteran, a sailor or a lighthouse collector.

A Beacon on the Shelf

Set it on a beach house mantel, a window ledge facing the water or a study shelf with sea charts. It stands out well in a row of other lighthouses.
