Sommelier Wine List Porcelain Limoges Box

A wine list bound like a little book, the kind a sommelier hands across a white tablecloth, becomes a porcelain keepsake here. This hand-painted Limoges box was finished in Limoges, France, for the cellar shelf rather than the dining room.

Turning to the Reds

Opening the wine list is one of the small rituals of a great dinner out: scanning the regions, debating a vintage, asking the sommelier for a suggestion. This porcelain book captures that moment of anticipation. It is colored by hand, so each finished piece has small variations of its own.

Cellar and Dining Companions

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Groups with wine barrel, champagne bottle and wine basket pieces
• Suits a wine, dining or restaurant collection

For the One Who Chooses the Bottle

Give it to a sommelier after passing an exam, a restaurant owner on opening night, a wine club host, or the friend who always orders for the table. It also makes a clever retirement present for someone who spent a career in hospitality. Set it on a wine rack beside favorite bottles, on a bar shelf among decanters, or on a bookshelf next to wine guides and atlases. Wine fans will appreciate the nod to a good evening out.
