Colorful Toucan in Jungle Foliage Limoges Box
A toucan with its famous oversized bill peers out from thick jungle leaves on this lively porcelain box. It is hand-painted in vibrant tropical colors and made in Limoges, France.
Bright Bill, Deep Canopy
Toucans are the showmen of the rainforest, and the painters lean into that personality here. The bird is set against layers of jungle foliage, so it seems to have just landed on a branch high above the forest floor. Each color is laid down by hand, which means small differences from one box to the next.
Rainforest Roll Call
- Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
- Pairs with parrot, flamingo and hummingbird pieces in a tropical bird grouping
- Brings warm color to a shelf that leans toward cool blues and whites
Postcard From the Tropics
Place it in a sunroom, on a bookcase near travel souvenirs, or on a windowsill where daylight brings out the colors. It is a natural choice for a bird watcher, a friend back from a trip to Costa Rica or Brazil, or anyone who keeps a life list of species. It also suits a beach house, where the jungle palette feels right at home all year.
Collectors of wild bird boxes often build out from one bold piece like this, adding other tropical species over time.
