French Brie Cheese Hand-Painted Limoges Box

A round of French Brie, the soft cheese often called the queen of cheeses, becomes a creamy-looking porcelain box. It was painted by hand in Limoges, France.

The Queen of Cheeses

Brie comes from the region east of Paris and earned its royal nickname at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, where it was reportedly crowned the finest cheese in Europe. This box celebrates that story, turning a cheese board favorite into a lasting piece of French culinary pride.

For the Fromage Fan

Give it to a cheesemonger, a chef, a friend back from a trip to Paris, or the host who always serves a perfect cheese board. It is a witty thank-you for a dinner party and a fun housewarming present for a new kitchen. Set it on a kitchen shelf, a wine cabinet or beside the real cheese knives.

A cheese box may be an unusual choice in porcelain, but that is exactly the kind of humor Limoges collectors tend to enjoy.
