Yellow Flower Limoges Box with Perfume Heart Inside
Bright yellow flowers decorate the outside of this porcelain box, and lifting the lid reveals a little perfume heart tucked inside. Its petals were colored by hand in Limoges, France, where this porcelain box was fired.
A Secret Scent Within
The surprise inside is what makes this piece special. The yellow blossoms set a sunny mood on the outside, and the small perfume heart turns the box into a sweet keepsake with a hidden message. Each element is painted by hand, so the shading differs slightly from box to box.

Little Surprises, Big Meaning
A hidden heart makes this a natural choice for an anniversary, a Valentine's Day surprise, a Mother's Day morning or a bridal shower. It also suits a friend recovering from a tough season who could use something cheerful on the nightstand. Yellow flowers carry a message of friendship and joy.
Patches, Pills and Perfume
Little porcelain boxes became fashionable in 18th-century France for snuff, pills and beauty patches, so tucking a treasure inside one has a long history. Set this one on a vanity, a nightstand or a sunny windowsill, and let guests find the heart for themselves.
