NBC Experience Shopping Bag Limoges Box

Here is a shopping bag that never left Rockefeller Center empty: a porcelain version of the NBC Experience bag, with the network name worked right into the painted design. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, made in Limoges, France, and the top lifts off to reveal a small hollow inside.

Live From the Gift Counter

The NBC Experience drew television fans who wanted to see where their favorite shows were made, and the shopping bag was the souvenir most visitors carried home. This box turns that everyday paper bag into fired and painted porcelain, a playful bit of pop culture captured in a traditional French medium.

A Peacock on the Shelf

Give it to a former network employee, a studio tour veteran or a friend who never misses a late night monologue. It sits comfortably on a home office bookshelf or inside a lit curio cabinet, where the bag shape catches the eye. Anyone who has stood in line for a studio taping will recognize the reference instantly, and it often becomes the piece guests ask about first.
