Dalmatian Dog with Spots Hand-Painted Limoges Box

Every spot on this Dalmatian was placed by hand, turning a white porcelain dog into one of the most recognizable breeds in the world. It is a hand-painted Limoges box, made in Limoges, France, with all the alert charm of a firehouse mascot.

Spots Before Your Eyes

Dalmatians first earned fame running alongside horse-drawn carriages, then became the trusted companions of firefighters. Their spotted coats make them easy to spot in any crowd, and that same pattern gives this piece instant personality on a shelf.

Good Dog, Good Gift

This is a natural present for a Dalmatian owner, a veterinarian, a dog groomer or a retiring firefighter who spent years with a spotted mascot at the station. It also suits anyone who grew up loving the classic animated film about a hundred and one of them. Set it on a mantel, a desk or a family room shelf beside photographs of a favorite pet. Breed specific boxes are a common way to start a dog collection, and a Dalmatian makes a cheerful first step.
