Since 1985, The Cottage Shop has enjoyed traveling the world to find and create art and home decor items. Our specialty has always been the hand-painted French Limoges porcelain boxes we created with our Master Museum artists commissioned from the city of Limoges France and the Italian De Carlini glass ornaments that have graced the Christmas trees of many American families. We released our first catalog in 1985 and to this day, every year, we also create Italian glass Christmas tree ornaments.
