Artoria Hamburger Limoges Box, Hand-Painted Porcelain Burger

Sesame bun, juicy patty and all the trimmings, rendered in fine porcelain instead of the backyard grill. This Artoria hamburger is a Limoges box painted by hand in France, a lighthearted piece that still shows serious skill.

Fresh Off the Grill

Few foods are as cheerfully American as a burger at a summer cookout, yet this one was shaped and painted in the heart of French porcelain country. That mix of humor and craftsmanship is exactly why food-themed boxes are among the most collected subjects, and why a burger always draws a smile on a shelf.

The Strength of Limoges

Hard-paste Limoges porcelain is fired at high heat, giving each piece a bright white body that holds painted color for a lifetime.
