Round Red Limoges Box with Painted Fruit

Painted fruit brightens this round red box, a cheerful harvest scene that looks good enough to eat. The porcelain Limoges box was made in Limoges, France, and every piece of fruit was painted by hand.

Orchard in the Round

Fruit motifs have decorated French tableware for centuries, from country faience to formal dinner services. On a red ground the painted fruit glows with warmth, like a basket on a market stall. The decoration is done by hand, so each box differs slightly in color and arrangement.
