Heart Limoges Box with Flowers and Gold Bow

Tied up with a gold bow and trimmed in painted flowers, this heart looks like a valentine wrapped and ready to hand over. It is a heart shaped, hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France.

Wrapped With Affection

A bow has always meant something special is inside, and here it turns the whole heart into a little present. The flowers give it softness, while the gold bow adds a polished, antique-style finish. Together they make a design that feels romantic without being fussy.

Ribbons and Roses Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France

Anniversary Table Ready

Display it on a dresser, an anniversary dinner table or a nightstand where it catches lamplight. It works beautifully for a fiftieth anniversary when gold is the traditional theme, a Valentine's Day surprise, or a bridal shower present for the bride-to-be. Tuck a pair of earrings or a handwritten note inside to make the moment even sweeter.

A Craft Born in 1768

Limoges became a porcelain town after deposits of white kaolin clay were found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768, and by the late 1700s its kilns were firing.
