Garlic Bulb Limoges Box
A plump bulb of garlic is the model for this porcelain box. Hand-painted in Limoges, France, this Limoges box salutes the ingredient that starts so many French and Italian dishes.
The Cook's First Step
Countless recipes begin with the same instruction, to mince a clove of garlic. This porcelain bulb is a tribute to that kitchen ritual, and to the cooks who know that a little more garlic rarely hurts.
A Chef's Pairing

Who Will Savor It
It is a fun present for a home cook, a professional chef or a culinary school graduate, and a good thank-you for a host who served an unforgettable dinner. Anyone who has visited a garlic festival will grin at it.
Fired, Then Painted
Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain fired at very high heat, and boxes like this one are painted by hand after firing. That process gives a humble kitchen subject like a garlic bulb a careful, natural finish.
