Round Limoges Pill Box with Blue Roses

A spray of blue roses graces this round porcelain pill box, small enough to slip into a handbag and pretty enough to leave out on a nightstand. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, in the traditional round pill box form.

Roses in the Round

The round pill box is one of the most classic Limoges forms, and its smooth circle gives a floral design room to breathe. Each blue bloom is brushed on by hand, so the petals and leaves vary slightly from one box to the next, giving every piece a bit of its own character.

Bedside and Beyond

Keep it on a nightstand, a vanity or a writing desk, or tuck it into a purse for a touch of color during the day. It is a fitting birthday or anniversary present, and a sweet thank-you for a nurse, a caregiver or the friend who always remembers your birthday.

Blooms for the Blue Garden

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a rose, garden or blue floral collection
• Looks lovely grouped with oval and heart pill boxes

Small porcelain boxes first became fashionable in 18th-century France, when they held snuff, pills and the tiny beauty patches worn at court. This round pill box carries that old idea forward in a softer, floral key.
