Corked Wine Porcelain Limoges Box

A corked bottle of wine, sealed and waiting for the right evening, inspired this hand-painted porcelain Limoges box. It was made in Limoges, France, a short drive from some of the most celebrated vineyards in the world.

Before the Cork Comes Out

There is a pleasant pause between choosing a bottle and pulling the cork, and this piece lives in that moment. The corked theme hints at a dinner about to begin, a toast about to be raised, and a conversation that will run long past dessert.

Raise a Glass to Limoges

Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat, which gives it the clean white body that takes paint so well. That same body carries the colors of this little wine box. Set it near a bar cart, a wine rack or a sideboard where guests gather before dinner. It makes a fitting thank-you for a host who always opens something special, a present for a wine club friend, or a souvenir for anyone back from a trip through French wine country.
