Baker's Rolling Pin Porcelain Limoges Box

The humble rolling pin, a tool every pie maker reaches for, becomes a porcelain miniature here with a handle at each end. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box figurine made in Limoges, France, a warm tribute to the baker in the family.

Rolled Out With Love

Pie crusts, holiday cookies and Sunday biscuits all start with a rolling pin and a dusting of flour. This little piece calls up those kitchen memories in a way that bakers recognize instantly. It is porcelain through and through, a reminder rather than a tool.

Flour on the Counter

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a baking, kitchen or dessert collection
• Pairs with the yellow mixer and tea kettle boxes

Hard Fired, Hand Finished

Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat before any decoration is added by hand. Set this one beside a cookie jar or a recipe box, and give it to a mom, a grandmother, a pastry chef or the friend whose pies always win the church bake sale. It brings a homey touch to a kitchen windowsill all year, and it looks especially at home in the weeks before Thanksgiving and Christmas.
