Lutyens Garden Bench Limoges Box, Pink Hat with Bird
A pink sun hat has been left on the slats of a Lutyens garden bench, and a small bird has dropped by to keep it company. This hand-painted porcelain Limoges box captures that quiet afternoon moment, and it was made in Limoges, France.
A Seat Among the Borders
The Lutyens bench takes its name from the English architect Sir Edwin Lutyens and remains a favorite in classic English gardens. Here the bench becomes the whole box, with the hat and bird resting on top as if the gardener just stepped away to deadhead the roses.
Who Will Sit Here
- Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
- Pairs with watering can, flowerpot and songbird pieces
- Belongs in an English country, garden club or birdwatching collection
Tea on the Terrace
Give it to a gardener on a spring birthday, to a garden club president at the end of a term, or to friends who just moved into a house with a real garden. It reads beautifully on a sunroom shelf, a potting room windowsill or a writing desk that looks out over the flower beds. The pink hat brings a soft touch of color to any arrangement of greens and whites.
