Leaf over leaf, this green artichoke builds up into a plump globe that looks ready for a Provencal market stall. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, made in Limoges, France, with the whole vegetable forming the box.

Heart of the Kitchen Garden

The artichoke is a favorite of French cooking, steamed and served with butter or vinaigrette, and its layered leaves have always tempted artists. Painting each overlapping leaf by hand takes patience, which is why vegetable pieces like this one appeal to kitchen themed collectors. No two finished boxes are shaded exactly alike.

From Potager to Shelf

  • Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
  • Suits a vegetable, kitchen garden or French cooking grouping
  • Pairs with asparagus, tomato and mushroom pieces

A Nod to Old Limoges

Limoges porcelain is a hard-paste porcelain fired at very high heat, and fruits and vegetables are a familiar subject among Limoges boxes. Set this one on a kitchen windowsill, an open shelf above the stove, or a dining sideboard. It is a fitting thank-you for a dinner party host, a chef finishing culinary school, or a gardener who finally coaxed a crop of artichokes from the soil.
