Backyard Barbecue Grill Hand-Painted Limoges Box

Fire up the coals: this backyard barbecue grill is ready for a summer cookout, even if it never gets near a flame. Shaped in porcelain and painted by hand, it comes from the workshops of Limoges, France.

Burgers on the Patio

The grill is one of those everyday objects that carries a lot of happy memories, from Fourth of July parties to Sunday suppers on the deck. Turned into porcelain and painted by hand, it becomes a small tribute to whoever always ends up manning the tongs.

The Pitmaster's Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A natural match for picnic basket, hot dog and hamburger pieces
• Rounds out a summer, cookout or backyard party grouping

Fired Up for Father's Day

This is a fine pick for Father's Day, a grilling enthusiast's birthday, or a thank you to the neighbor who hosts the block party every year. Set it on a kitchen windowsill, a den bookshelf or a bar near the patio door so the season stays in view. Anyone who has ever argued over charcoal versus gas will understand it instantly, and it adds a cheerful bit of summer to a shelf long after the grill has been covered for winter.
