Penguin Figure Porcelain Limoges Box

A penguin, the most formally dressed bird on the ice, looks ready for a winter gala here. Hand-painted in Limoges, France, this little bird is a porcelain Limoges box with plenty of personality.

Dressed for the Ice

Penguins have a way of making everyone smile, with their formal look and their dignified waddle. Shaped as the box itself, this penguin carries that charm in a compact form. It brings a bit of the frozen south to any shelf, no parka required.

Polar Pals

Cool Company All Winter

Bring it out with the winter decorations and set it on a mantel among faux snow, or keep it on a desk year round as a cheerful companion. It makes a fun present for a friend just back from an Antarctic cruise, a zoo volunteer, or anyone who has a soft spot for these birds. It is also a smart choice for a black tie anniversary celebration.

Penguin collectors know that one rarely stays alone for long, and this one tends to start a colony.
