White Rocking Horse Porcelain Limoges Box

A white rocking horse, the classic toy of the nursery, stands ready for a gentle ride in this sweet porcelain figurine box. Craftspeople in Limoges, France shaped the little horse in porcelain and colored it with a brush.

Giddy-Up in the Nursery

Rocking horses have been treasured nursery toys for centuries, handed down through families and remembered long after they are outgrown. Painted in white, this one has a soft, timeless look that suits any nursery. Each horse is painted by hand, so every one has its own small differences.

Under the Christmas Tree

The rocking horse is also a beloved holiday image, often found under the tree in old Christmas illustrations. That makes this piece as fitting for a baby's first Christmas as it is for a baby shower, and it can join the holiday display each December.
