Round Limoges Box Painted with Grapes

Clusters of grapes wrap around this round porcelain box, a nod to the vineyards and wine harvests of France. It was painted by hand in Limoges, France, and made as a classic round Limoges box.

Fruit of the Vine

Grapes have been a favorite motif in decorative art since ancient times, standing for abundance, celebration and the good life. On this round box, the painted fruit gives a simple shape a rich, harvest-season feel. It suits anyone who has wandered the rows of a vineyard at the end of summer and tasted the first grapes off the vine.
