Santa and Gifts by the Mailbox Hand-Painted Limoges Box

Santa pauses by the mailbox with an armful of gifts, making a special delivery of his own. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, a cheerful scene for anyone who loves the season of giving.

Special Delivery

Every December, letters to Santa pour into mailboxes, and here he seems to be answering them in person. The mailbox and the gifts make this a natural tribute to the mail carriers who work so hard through the holiday rush. The hand-painting gives Santa and his parcels small, charming differences from piece to piece.

Thanks for Every Parcel

This is a fitting thank-you for a mail carrier, a post office clerk or a delivery driver at Christmas. It also suits a pen pal, a friend who still sends handwritten holiday cards, or a grandparent who mails presents across the country every year. Set it beside the stack of Christmas cards on a hall table, on the mantel or by the front door.
