Red Beet Porcelain Limoges Box

Deep red and earthy, this porcelain beet looks freshly pulled from the garden bed. The root vegetable was modeled as a Limoges box and painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Pulled From the Root Cellar

Beets have fed European kitchens for centuries, from French salads to Russian borscht, and their rich crimson color is hard to match. In porcelain, that color becomes the star, laid down by hand with a depth that suits a country kitchen.

The Vegetable Garden

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Groups with pepper, avocado, carrot and other produce pieces
• Fits a vegetable garden, root cellar or farm kitchen collection

From Plot to Plate

This piece suits a gardener who grows heirloom vegetables, a chef who cooks farm to table, a nutritionist, or a borscht maker with a family recipe. It also makes a playful housewarming present for a country home. Set it on a windowsill above the sink, a kitchen shelf beside canning jars, or a farmhouse table runner among other porcelain vegetables. Its strong color gives a produce grouping a welcome jolt of red.
