Spicy Chili Pepper Limoges Box in Porcelain

Bright red and curving to a point, this chili pepper brings real heat to a shelf of porcelain. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, shaped like a single pepper fresh from the vine.

Turn Up the Heat

From Mexican kitchens to Thai street stalls, the chili is the spark that makes a dish memorable. The glossy red skin is painted by hand, so each pepper has slightly different shading and highlights.

For the Fearless Cook

This is the right choice for the friend who grows peppers on the balcony, enters every chili cook-off, or keeps a hot sauce shelf. It is a good-humored host thank-you after a taco night, and a fun prize for a salsa contest. Place it near the stove, on a spice rack or in a kitchen cabinet with glass doors.

Unlike the real thing, it will never make anyone's eyes water.
