Classic River Boat Hand-Painted Limoges Box
An old river boat rides along in porcelain, decks stacked and trim picked out in paint, the kind of vessel that once carried passengers and cargo down wide American rivers. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France.
Rolling Down the River
River boats were floating towns in their day, with dining rooms, music and long lazy days on the water. This box keeps that spirit in a small form, with each deck and rail painted by a careful hand.

Dockside Display
A lake house mantel, a den bookshelf or a fishing cabin windowsill all suit it. Give it to someone who has taken a river cruise, a retired riverboat pilot, or a fan of the old steamboat stories. It also fits a collection of ships and boats from around the world, where its broad decks make a nice contrast to tall sailing ships.
Placed near a framed river map, it tells its own little travel story.
