Blue Espresso Machine Porcelain Limoges Box

A blue espresso machine stands ready to pull the first shot of the day, just like the ones behind a busy cafe counter. This miniature is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and it celebrates the small ritual that gets so many people out the door each morning.

Pulling the Perfect Shot

The espresso machine is a modern icon, and the blue finish gives this one a crisp, cheerful look. Painted entirely by hand, the color has a depth and softness that sets it apart from a printed design.

Who Needs a Refill

• A barista celebrating a new job or a first cafe of their own
• A coworker who runs the office coffee machine
• Anyone who cannot start the day without a latte

The Cafe Counter at Home

Set it on a home coffee bar beside the real machine, on a kitchen shelf with mugs, or on an office desk. It makes a lively group with coffee mill, coffee pot and croissant pieces, together forming a small cafe scene. This is hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France, chosen by coffee drinkers who like their ritual to show.
