Porcelain Wishing Well Hand-Painted Limoges Box

Toss in a coin and make a wish: this traditional wishing well brings a bit of fairy tale luck to the shelf. Shaped and painted by hand in Limoges, France, this Limoges box keeps the old custom close at hand.

Pennies and Promises

Wishing wells have stood in village squares and garden corners for centuries, and the habit of tossing a coin for luck lives on. This little well captures that hopeful tradition in a classic, familiar shape. It is a gentle, optimistic subject that fits almost any home.

Wishes for Every Occasion

It is a natural pick for a wedding, a new home, a graduation or a new baby, when good wishes are the whole point. Slip a folded note with a wish inside before giving it. Set it on a garden room shelf, a nightstand or an entry table where everyone passing can make a wish of their own.

White Clay, Old Town

Once kaolin turned up near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768, porcelain making took root around Limoges. Centuries later, the town still sends out charming little shapes like this well.
