Majestic Tiger Big Cat Porcelain Limoges Box

A tiger with its bold striped coat is the star of this hand-painted porcelain Limoges box. Made in Limoges, France, it captures the power and grace of the largest of the big cats.

Burning Bright

Tigers have inspired poets, painters and sports teams for generations. The striped coat is painted by hand here, so the pattern and shading differ slightly from one box to the next, just as no two wild tigers share the same stripes.

Jungle Lineup

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A strong piece for a big cat, jungle or wildlife collection
• Pairs with lion, leopard, elephant and white tiger boxes

Who Has the Eye of the Tiger

This makes a spirited present for a fan of any team with a tiger mascot, a graduate of a school whose colors are orange and black, or someone born in a Year of the Tiger. Conservation donors, zoo keepers and travelers back from India or Nepal will appreciate it too.

Tempered by the Kiln

Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat, which gives this tiger a smooth, durable surface that suits its fierce subject. Display it on a desk, a dark wood shelf or a curio full of wild animals.
