French Foie Gras Tin Limoges Box

Modeled after a tin of foie gras, this box salutes one of France's most celebrated delicacies. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box from Limoges, France, a gourmet joke that only porcelain could tell.

A Taste of the Perigord

Foie gras is a holiday staple across southwest France, served on toast at Christmas and New Year with a glass of sweet wine. Packing it in a tin is a long tradition there, and this porcelain version keeps the shape of that familiar container in fine painted detail.

For the Francophile at the Table

It is a clever present for a chef who trained in France, a food writer, or a friend who just returned from a trip to Bordeaux or the Dordogne. Set it in a kitchen hutch, on a wine cellar shelf or next to cookbooks, where it will spark conversation over dinner. Hosts of a French themed holiday meal will welcome it as a thank-you, and it travels well among other pantry inspired porcelain pieces.
