This wonderful box is a red old-fashioned,rural school house with a brown thatched roof, and a clock in front.  The paned glass windows have flower boxes.  Grass and shrubs surround the building, and an apple tree is in back.  The clasp is a horseshoe - a reminder of the days when students would ride their horses to school, and tie them to a hitching post in front.  It is 1" by 1.5" with a height of 2.1".  On the bottom is : "Limoges France - Peint a la Main" with the artist's initials.  "Limoges France" is also stamped in green.  PLEASE CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE LIMOGES BOXES - I'LL BE  LISTING  ADDITIONAL ONES LATER IN THE WEEK.   PLEASE CHECK BACK OFTEN.
