Bon Voyage Cruise Ship Hand-Painted Limoges Box

A cruise ship sets sail with a cheerful Bon Voyage send-off, ready for sunny ports and long days at sea. This porcelain box was formed and painted by hand in Limoges, France.

All Aboard for Adventure

Bon voyage is the French farewell that travelers around the world have borrowed, and it fits a ship perfectly. Ocean liners and cruise ships have carried honeymooners, retirees and adventurers for more than a century, and this box gathers all that anticipation into one small vessel.

Charting a Seafaring Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Belongs in a travel, ocean or nautical collection
• Pairs with suitcase, globe, lighthouse and sailboat pieces

Send-Offs and Homecomings

Give it before a first cruise, as a retirement present for someone finally booking that trip around the Caribbean, or as a honeymoon memento for newlyweds sailing off together. It also makes a thoughtful thank-you for a travel agent. Afterward it can sit on a shelf with shore excursion photos and the little treasures picked up in port.

Every bit of color was applied by hand after firing, so the ship carries the small variations that mark genuine hand painting.
