Basket of Mixed Fruit Hand-Painted Limoges Box
A basket brimming with mixed fruit captures the colors of a market stall in one small porcelain piece. Every fruit in the pile was colored by hand in Limoges, France, where the box was fired and finished.
Bounty of the Orchard
Fruit baskets have been a favorite theme in French decorative art for generations, standing for welcome, plenty and good harvests. This box gathers a variety of fruit together in a single basket, each picked out in its own color by hand, so the eye moves from one piece to the next.
Gathering a Harvest Table
- Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
- Fits a fruit, kitchen, harvest or farmers market theme
- Sits well beside apple, pear, grape and picnic pieces
A Welcome That Never Spoils
A basket of fruit is the traditional welcome for new neighbors, and this one makes the gesture last. It suits a housewarming, a thank-you for a generous host, or a get-well wish for someone who would rather not receive another bouquet. Set it on a dining room sideboard, a breakfast nook shelf or a kitchen hutch, where it fits the setting naturally.
Since the basket theme works in any season, it can stay out all year rather than rotating with the holidays.
