Apple with Bee Large Limoges Box

Shipping calculated at checkout.

A ripe apple gets an unexpected visitor on this larger porcelain box, with a bee joining the fruit as a second subject. Hand-painted in Limoges, France, this Limoges box brings orchard and hive together in a single piece.

Blossom to Bushel

Apples only happen because bees do their work in spring, so the pairing tells the whole orchard story in miniature. The larger size gives the painter room to show both the round fruit and the small insect, and every box is finished by hand, so each one varies a little in color and detail.

Buzzing Around the Fruit Bowl

  • Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
  • Leads a shelf of pear, cherry and strawberry boxes
  • Fits a bee, honey or garden pollinator collection

Thank You Notes With a Sting

An apple has long been the classic present for a teacher, and the bee adds a nod to hard work and busy days, so this one makes an apt end-of-year thank-you. It also suits a beekeeper, an orchard owner, a baker known for her apple pie, or anyone who loves a trip to the you-pick farm each fall. On a kitchen shelf, a breakfast table or an office desk it reads as cheerful without trying too hard.

Snuff, Pills and Patches

Small porcelain boxes first became fashionable in eighteenth-century France, when people kept snuff, pills and beauty patches in them. Today the same tradition lives on as a collected art form.
