Three Cherries Hand-Painted Limoges Box

Three plump cherries hang together as one cheerful cluster, ready for the picking. This hand-painted porcelain Limoges box was made in Limoges, France, and it sums up the sweetness of early summer in a tiny form.

Orchard Trio

Cherries rarely come one at a time, and this trio captures how they look on the branch, bunched together and bright. Each one is painted by hand, so the red tones shift a little from cherry to cherry and from box to box.

Bowl of Cherries Life

Life is just a bowl of cherries, as the old song goes, and this box makes a happy reminder of that idea. Give it to a friend starting a new chapter, a baker famous for cherry cobbler, or someone celebrating a June wedding anniversary. It also makes a cheerful addition to a retirement party for a teacher heading into a long, sunny summer.

Place it on a kitchen windowsill, a breakfast table or a vanity, where a spot of red brightens the day. It keeps good company with lemons, pineapples and other fruit boxes in a sunny display, and it is small enough to slip in among larger pieces without crowding them.
