Upright Blue Egg Perfume Bottle Limoges Box

Standing on its narrow end, this blue egg carries a perfume bottle theme that belongs on any dressing table. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and it has a matching companion egg elsewhere in this shop.

An Egg Dressed for Evening

Eggs are among the oldest shapes in Limoges collecting, and setting one upright gives it a slim, graceful profile. The perfume bottle design ties it to the small ritual of getting ready for a night out, so it looks right among real fragrance bottles. Keep in mind that the bottle is porcelain and part of the decoration, not a flacon meant for scent.

Twin Eggs in Blue

• Painted by hand on Limoges porcelain
• Suits an egg, perfume bottle or blue themed shelf
• Shows best beside its matching blue egg, listed separately

Mirror Tray Company

Set it on a mirrored tray with a silver hairbrush and a favorite scent, or let it anchor a cabinet of painted eggs. It makes a graceful Mother's Day surprise or a birthday present for someone who never leaves the house without a spritz of perfume. Spring is a natural season to bring it forward, when eggs turn up on mantels and Easter tables everywhere.
