Tall Round Flower Decorated Limoges Box
Tall and round, this flower decorated box rises like a little column dressed for a garden party. It is a porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, with every bloom applied by hand and a lid that sits neatly on top.
A Column of Blossoms
The cylinder shape gives the flowers room to wrap all the way around, so the box looks lovely from every angle. That makes it a good choice for a spot where it will be seen from more than one side, like a coffee table or a kitchen island. Each flower is painted individually, so no two boxes are exactly alike.

From the Kiln to the Vanity
Like other Limoges boxes, this one begins as white hard-paste porcelain fired at very high heat, and its decoration is added afterward by hand. Small lidded boxes have been fashionable since eighteenth century France, when they held snuff, pills and beauty patches. Today it suits a vanity, a bathroom shelf or a desk, and it makes a gracious birthday or Mother's Day present.
