Retired Wild Duck Flying Porcelain Limoges Box

Wings spread wide, a wild duck takes to the air on this porcelain piece. It is a retired design, painted by hand on porcelain in Limoges, France.

Off the Marsh at Dawn

Anyone who has spent an early morning in a duck blind or beside a quiet pond knows the rush of wings as ducks lift off the water. This box catches that instant, the bird mid-flight and heading for open sky, with the energy of a sporting print.

Lodge and Den

• A retired design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Fits a waterfowl, wild bird or hunting lodge collection
• Pairs with decoys, game bird prints and pheasant pieces

For Hunters and Birders

Duck hunters, wildlife painters and birdwatchers all have reason to appreciate a duck on the wing. It suits a cabin mantel, a study with leather chairs or an office decorated with sporting art, and it makes a thoughtful present for opening day of the season or a retirement to the lake.

Since the design is no longer made, it is a piece that waterfowl collectors tend to snap up when it appears. Paired with a carved decoy or a framed duck stamp, it adds a touch of porcelain to a rugged room.
