Two Easter Rabbits Hand-Painted Limoges Box

Two rabbits ready for the season make this a ready-made Easter scene, cheerful and full of spring. Shaped as a porcelain Limoges box and painted by hand in Limoges, France, this pair comes from a retired design.

Hopping Into April

Rabbits and Easter have gone together for generations, and a pair always feels more festive than a single bunny. The two figures give the piece a sense of company and celebration, like neighbors meeting on the way to an egg hunt.

Easter Basket Notes

• A retired design from the Limoges rabbit and Easter line
• Belongs in an Easter, spring or rabbit collection

The Holiday Table

Set it at the center of an Easter brunch table, on a sideboard with pastel eggs, or on a mantel through the spring months. It makes a sweet Easter present for a grandparent, a hostess thank you after a holiday meal, or a seasonal piece for a friend who decorates for every holiday.

An Old French Habit

Small porcelain boxes became fashionable in eighteenth century France, carried for snuff, pills and beauty patches. Holiday subjects like this one keep that little tradition alive.
