Pair of Inline Skates Porcelain Limoges Box

Two inline skates stand side by side, laced up and lined with wheels, ready for a spin around the park path. They are not real skates but a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France.

Rolling Into the Collection

Inline skating took off in the late twentieth century, and plenty of people still remember their first wobbly loop of the block. This piece captures that pair of boots in miniature, with the laces and the long row of wheels picked out in paint so the shape is clear from across a room.

Wheels, Laces and Good Times

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Belongs in a skating, sports or hobby grouping
• Pairs well with roller skate, bicycle and skateboard pieces

Gifts for the Rink Crowd

Give it to a skater after a first race, a fitness friend who logs miles on the boardwalk, or a coach who spends weekends at the rink. It is also a fun birthday surprise for someone who still has an old pair of blades hanging in the garage.

Parking Spot for the Skates

Set it on a desk next to a race medal, on a bedroom shelf with sports photos, or in a curio cabinet among other hobby pieces. The bright, upright shape holds its own even in a crowded display.
