Hibiscus Purse Shape Porcelain Limoges Box

Hibiscus blossoms bloom across this purse shaped porcelain box, bringing a tropical flower to a classic handbag silhouette. The flowers were painted by hand in Limoges, France, on a true Limoges box.

Island Bloom, Evening Bag

The hibiscus is the flower of warm breezes and island gardens, and placing it on a little purse gives the piece a festive, resort air. Floral purses are among the most popular shapes in Limoges collecting, and a tropical bloom is a welcome change from the usual roses.

Bon Voyage and Beyond

Give it to a friend heading off on a cruise, a couple celebrating an anniversary in Hawaii, or a woman who spends winters somewhere warm. It also suits a bridal shower, a birthday, or a thank-you for a hostess with a passion for flowers.

Set it on a vanity, a guest room dresser or a glass shelf in a sunny room, where the blossoms look their best. Purse collectors often group pieces by flower, and a hibiscus stands out clearly among roses and violets. The hand painting means each purse carries its own small variations in color.
