Blue Striped Heart Limoges Box with Roses

Blue stripes, little hearts and roses all come together on this heart shaped porcelain box, a romantic pattern with a fresh, cottage feel. The stripes, hearts and blooms were painted by hand in Limoges, France, on a Limoges box.

Stripes, Hearts and Roses

Stripes bring order, hearts bring sentiment and roses bring romance, and the three blend into a cheerful design that feels like vintage wallpaper or a favorite ribbon. The blue keeps it light rather than formal. Hand painting gives every heart its own small differences.

Love Notes in Porcelain

This is a sweet choice for Valentine's Day, an anniversary, a bridal shower, or a Mother's Day surprise. It also suits a friend who decorates in blue and white, or a newlywed setting up a first home together.

From Kaolin to Keepsake

Porcelain has been made in Limoges since the late 1700s, after kaolin was found nearby in 1768 at Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche. Heart shaped boxes like this have become some of the most loved designs to come out of that tradition. Set it on a nightstand, a vanity or a kitchen windowsill.
