Pink Floral Madame Pompadour Egg Limoges Box

Pink flowers grace a porcelain egg finished in the Madame Pompadour style, bringing together two favorite Limoges traditions in one piece. Made in Limoges, France, the egg is finished entirely by hand with the brush.

Where Easter Meets Versailles

Egg boxes celebrate spring and new beginnings, while the Pompadour style recalls the refined taste of the eighteenth century French court. Combined, they make an egg that feels as much at home in a formal parlor as in an Easter basket. The pink florals follow the curve of the shell for a soft, rounded look.

Spring Brunch to Vanity Table

Bring it out for an Easter brunch, a spring bridal shower or a christening luncheon, then let it settle on a vanity table for the rest of the year. It is a gracious present for a grandmother who collects eggs, a goddaughter's confirmation or a Mother's Day celebration.

White Clay From Saint-Yrieix

The kaolin found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768 made Limoges a porcelain center, and small boxes became a specialty that continues today.
