Haunted House Halloween Porcelain Box from Limoges

A spooky old haunted house, the kind every neighborhood ghost story seems to center on, stands as the subject of this Halloween box. It is hand-painted porcelain, a Limoges box made in Limoges, France, built for fun rather than real fright.

Somebody's Home at Midnight

This is the house at the end of the lane in every campfire tale, the one nobody dares to knock on come October 31. In porcelain, the scene keeps all the atmosphere of a late night tale while staying small enough to sit on a side table.

The Halloween Neighborhood

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Anchors a Halloween village with pumpkins, cats and witches
• Also fits a house, building or architecture grouping

Haunting the Mantel

Give it a place of honor on the mantel, a hall table or a bookcase between scary novels, ideally near a candle for a little flicker. It is a clever hostess thank-you for a costume party and a fun pick for a mystery reader or an October birthday. Many collectors leave it out from early fall right through the first frost.
