Doves on a Woven Basket Limoges Porcelain Box
Two doves have come to rest on the rim of a woven basket, side by side as if they plan to stay. This traditional porcelain Limoges box is painted by hand in Limoges, France, with the weave of the basket worked around its sides.
Two Birds, One Promise
Doves have stood for love and peace for centuries, and a pair of them reads naturally as a couple. That is why this design so often finds its way into wedding celebrations, where the symbolism needs no explanation.
Sharing the Nest
- Traditional hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
- Belongs in a wedding, romance or songbird collection
- Pairs with heart boxes, love birds and anniversary pieces
From the Shower to the Silver Year
Present it at a bridal shower or set it at the head table, then let the couple take it home to a dresser beside their wedding photo. Years later it makes an equally fitting anniversary token, especially for couples who still hold hands on walks.
The basket shape gives the doves a steady perch, so it sits comfortably on a vanity tray or among framed photos on a hall table. Anyone who collects bird figures will appreciate how the pair is posed, close enough to suggest a lasting bond without crowding one another.
