Blue Floral Trunk Porcelain Limoges Box
A blue trunk, covered in painted flowers, looks ready to set off on a grand voyage aboard an ocean liner. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, combining a traveler's trunk with a garden's worth of blooms.
Packed for the Grand Tour
In the days of steamships and sleeper trains, travelers carried their wardrobes in sturdy trunks, often decorated with labels from every port. This floral version trades the stickers for flowers, turning the humble steamer trunk into something as pretty as a spring garden.
