White Tennis Ball Porcelain Limoges Box
A crisp white tennis ball becomes a porcelain box here, ready for a trophy shelf instead of the baseline. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, a keepsake for anyone who counts their weeks by matches played.
Game, Set and Shelf
The tennis ball is one of the most recognizable shapes in sport, and rendering it in white gives it a classic, club-whites feel. It recalls grass courts, polite applause and the long tradition of tennis played in white.
Who It Serves
Club players, high school team captains and weekend doubles partners will all appreciate it. It is a thoughtful thank-you for a coach after a strong season, a prize for a club tournament winner, or a birthday surprise for the friend who never misses a Saturday match.

Fired, Then Finished by Hand
Limoges boxes start as white porcelain fired at very high heat, and the painting is done by hand afterward. On a piece like this, that care shows in the clean finish of the white ball and its curved lines.
