Blue Basket of Three Perfume Bottles Limoges Box

Cool blue wraps a little basket here, and three tiny perfume bottles stand inside as if picked for the evening. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, molded and painted as a single piece.

Blue Basket, Three Bottles

The perfume basket is a vanity subject collectors return to again and again, and the blue version has a calm, fresh feel. Think of a bathroom done in seaside tones or a dressing table set with blue glass. The bottles are part of the porcelain sculpture rather than separate containers, so the appeal is all in the look.

A Trio for the Vanity Shelf

• Hand-painted Limoges porcelain from France
• Fits a perfume, basket or blue color collection
• Completes the set with the yellow and maroon baskets

Where Blue Belongs

Place it on a bathroom counter, a powder room windowsill or a mirrored dresser tray. It suits a spring birthday, a bridal shower or a Mother's Day morning, and it is an easy choice for the friend whose favorite color is blue. Small porcelain boxes were the height of fashion in 18th century France, carried for snuff, pills and beauty patches, and this vanity theme keeps that dressing room heritage alive.
