Teacher's School Chalkboard Porcelain Limoges Box
A miniature school chalkboard, framed like the slate at the front of a classroom, is the subject of this porcelain piece. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and the board itself forms the box.
Lessons on the Board
Few objects say school as quickly as a chalkboard. The painter captures the slate and its frame, giving the piece an instantly familiar look for anyone who has spent time in a classroom, on either side of the desk.

The Last Bell of the Year
This is a favorite thank-you for a teacher at the end of the school year, and an even better one for a teacher who is retiring after decades of lesson plans. It also suits a principal, a tutor, a new graduate heading into an education career, or a professor finishing a long tenure. On a desk beside a stack of books or a cup of pencils, it looks right at home.
Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat, which gives even a small piece like this a bright white body under the paint.
