Six Wine Bottles in a Barrel Porcelain Limoges Box

An oak barrel stands at the center of this little cellar scene, with six bottles of wine gathered close around it. The whole piece is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, shaped and decorated in Limoges, France.

Down in the Cave

French winemakers call their cellar the cave, and this box borrows that cool, quiet mood. The barrel and its six bottles are modeled together as one subject, then painted by hand so the glass, the staves and the hoops each read clearly from across a room.

A Toast Among Friends

• Hand-painted porcelain made in Limoges, France
• Groups well with corkscrew, grape cluster and champagne subjects
• Anchors a vineyard, wine country or sommelier themed shelf

Uncorked for the Occasion

Place it on a bar cart, a sideboard beside the decanter, or a bookcase near the tasting notes from your last trip to Napa or Bordeaux. It suits a dinner party host, a friend who just finished building a home cellar, or a couple marking a wedding anniversary with a good bottle. Wine club members and anyone who keeps a cork from every celebration will see the appeal right away, and it gives the home bar a conversation piece that never needs chilling.
