Baseball Mitt and Ball Porcelain Limoges Box

A well-worn baseball mitt cradles a ball on this hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, ready for the next inning. It was made in Limoges, France, and it brings the spirit of America's pastime to a collector's shelf.

Opening Day on the Shelf

Few things say spring quite like the smell of a leather glove and the crack of a bat. This piece captures the quiet moment between plays, when the ball settles into the pocket of the mitt. It is instantly familiar to anyone who has played catch in a backyard or sat in the bleachers.
