Bright Red Apple Porcelain Limoges Box

A bright red apple, round and shiny as the first pick of the orchard, makes a crisp little statement in porcelain. It is a Limoges box, hand-painted by artisans in Limoges, France.

An Apple a Day

Apples carry a lot of meaning: the teacher's desk, the autumn orchard, New York City and the start of the school year. This bright red one forms the whole box, with its color painted by hand for a glossy, just-picked look.

Top of the Class

Give it to a favorite teacher at the end of the school year, a principal on retirement, or a new teacher on the first day. It also suits a New Yorker who misses the Big Apple, an orchard owner, or a friend who bakes the best pie in the neighborhood.

The Orchard Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a fruit, teacher or autumn harvest collection
• Pairs with pear, cherry, walnut and apple pie boxes

Set it on a classroom desk at home, a kitchen windowsill or a fall harvest display with gourds and pumpkins. A single red apple is easy to place and adds a bold spot of color wherever it lands.
