Brie Cheese on a Plate Porcelain Limoges Box

Brie served on a plate inspires this porcelain box straight from the French table. Its colors were laid on by hand in Limoges, France, only a few hours from the dairy country where brie is made.

The King of Cheeses

Brie has been called the king of cheeses since the days of the French court, and it remains a fixture of any cheese board. This piece turns that classic into porcelain, with the plate and cheese painted by hand so each box has its own variations.

Wine and Cheese Hour

Keep it on a sideboard near the serving boards, on a kitchen shelf among cookbooks, or on a bar cart beside a bottle of wine. It makes a charming thank-you for a dinner party host, a housewarming present for a cook who loves French food, or a souvenir for anyone who has toured the markets of Paris.

Plated Together

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France

• Fits a gourmet kitchen or Francophile collection

The Clay of the Limousin

Porcelain has come from Limoges since the late 1700s, after kaolin was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768. It is fitting that a city known for fine plates would turn out a plate of brie in miniature.
