Blue Striped Floral Limoges Egg
Crisp blue stripes and floral sprays wrap around this porcelain egg, giving it the fresh look of a French country tablecloth. It is a hand-painted Limoges box from Limoges, France.
Stripes With a Spring Twist
Stripes bring order and rhythm, while the flowers soften the pattern and add a garden feel. In blue, the combination reads as classic and calm, the kind of design that works in any room and any season.

Gathering Around the Table
Use it on an Easter brunch table nestled in moss, on a breakfast nook shelf, or in a china cabinet beside blue and white plates. It makes a lovely present for Easter, Mother's Day, a spring birthday or a housewarming in a cottage style home.
Many porcelain boxes are painted by hand after the white porcelain has been fired, and their metal mounts are fitted by hand as well. On an egg, that process lets the painter wrap a pattern smoothly around the curve, which is what gives a striped design like this one its clean, flowing lines.
