Decorated White Pumpkin Hand-Painted Limoges Box

This porcelain box takes the shape of a white pumpkin and dresses it up with painted flowers, a refined twist on the classic fall gourd. Each flower was added by hand in Limoges, France, where this porcelain Limoges box was made.

Ghost Pumpkin in Bloom

White pumpkins have become a favorite for autumn decorating because they look fresh and elegant next to the usual orange. Adding painted flowers takes that idea a step further, turning a harvest symbol into something that could sit in a formal dining room. The rounded form still says pumpkin at a glance.

A Patch of Fall Favorites

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A graceful addition to an autumn, harvest or Thanksgiving collection
• Looks lovely among orange pumpkins, acorns and fall leaf pieces

From September Through the Feast

Bring it out when the first cool evenings arrive and leave it on a sideboard, mantel or Thanksgiving table until the dishes are done. It makes a thoughtful hostess thank-you for a fall dinner, a birthday surprise for someone born in October, or a housewarming present for a home with neutral, farmhouse-style rooms.

Porcelain Born of White Clay

The Limoges porcelain tradition began after kaolin was found near the town in the late 1700s. That pale clay is the reason a white pumpkin like this one looks so clean and bright.
