Red and Orange Floral Egg Limoges Box

Warm red and orange wrap around this egg shaped box, brightened with painted flowers that glow like a late spring sunset. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, a cheerful take on one of the oldest decorative forms.

An Egg in Sunset Colors

Decorated eggs have been prized gifts across Europe for centuries, from simple dyed shells to the jeweled creations of the Russian court. This porcelain egg follows that tradition with a fiery palette, the flowers adding a garden touch to the warm red and orange ground.
