Green Roses Perfume Limoges Box

Green roses decorate a pair of perfume bottles on this porcelain box, an unusual color for a rose and a memorable one. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, from the two perfume designs of the perfume series.

A Rose Unlike the Rest

Green roses do exist in real gardens, though they are uncommon and prized by florists for their cool, leafy tone. On this piece they give the perfume pair a fresh, botanical look that stands apart from the more familiar pinks and reds of a classic vanity.

Florist Shop Favorites

Display it on a vanity, a dresser or in a curio cabinet, perhaps near a pot of fresh herbs or a fern. It makes a fitting present for a florist, a gardener with an eye for the unusual, or a friend whose favorite color is green. For anyone who groups a collection by color, these green roses bridge the vanity pieces and a garden themed shelf.

Porcelain has been made in Limoges since the late 1700s, after kaolin was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768. That fine white clay is the reason pieces like this have such a clean surface for painting.
