Peanut in the Shell Porcelain Limoges Box

A single peanut in its shell, ready to be cracked open at the ballpark, makes for one of the most unexpected subjects in porcelain. This humble snack is a hand-painted Limoges box from Limoges, France.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Roasted peanuts have been sold in ballparks for over a century, and the old seventh-inning song still promises them to every fan. This porcelain peanut honors that tradition, along with the farms of Georgia, Virginia and the Carolinas where so many peanuts are grown.

For Peanut People

It makes a quirky present for a baseball fan, a peanut farmer, a Georgia or Virginia native, or a friend whose nickname happens to be Peanut. It also suits a new parent who calls the baby their little peanut.

Small Snack, Big Smile

Set it on a desk, a bar near the game room TV or a kitchen shelf among other food pieces. It always gets a grin from guests who spot it.
