Gold Flowers Egg Shaped Porcelain Limoges Box
Gold accents and painted flowers dress this porcelain egg in warm, celebratory style. It is a hand-painted Limoges box, its flowers and gilding added by hand in Limoges, France.
A Golden Spring
The egg is a symbol of new beginnings, and gold makes any beginning feel like an occasion. Here the painted flowers soften the gilding, so the piece feels festive and pretty rather than formal.
Gilded Shelf Companions
- Pairs with the gold floral flat round and the gold and white hexagon
- Joins pink, blue, yellow and hot pink eggs for an egg row
- Fits an egg, gold or floral collection
Celebrations Worth Gold
Give it at Easter, for a golden wedding anniversary, or to celebrate a new job, a new home or a new grandchild. It also makes a gracious thank-you for a mentor or a longtime friend who has been a golden presence through the years.
From Kaolin to Collection
Porcelain has been made in Limoges since the late 1700s, when kaolin was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche. This gilded egg carries that heritage onto a modern mantel, dresser or curio shelf.
