Mississippi Paddle Riverboat Porcelain Limoges Box
A Mississippi paddle riverboat steams along in porcelain, the kind of vessel that made the great river famous in the stories of Mark Twain. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, its decks and paddle wheel painted by hand in Limoges, France.
Life on the Mississippi
Paddle wheelers once carried cotton, travelers and music up and down the river, stopping at towns from New Orleans to St. Louis. This box keeps that romance alive with a classic riverboat shape that calls up warm evenings on the deck.

Ports of Call
It makes a fine memento of a river cruise, a trip to New Orleans or Memphis, or a visit to a Twain museum. Display it on a mantel, a den shelf or a bookshelf beside old river maps and travel books. A retired river pilot, a jazz fan, or anyone who grew up near the water will find it meaningful.
A paddle wheeler for the shelf, always ready to cast off.
