Turquoise Top Hat and Perfume Hand-Painted Limoges Box
A turquoise top hat meets a perfume theme in this porcelain box, a playful nod to evenings out and dressing tables of another era. It is a hand-painted Limoges box from Limoges, France, with plenty of style.
Dressed for the Evening
The top hat calls to mind ballroom dances, opera nights and old movies, while the perfume touch adds a hint of the powder room before the party. Turquoise keeps it fresh and modern rather than stiff. Together they make a little story about getting ready for a special night.
The Vanity Collection
- Hand-painted porcelain made in Limoges, France
- Suits a fashion, vanity or hat-themed shelf

Who Would Wear It Well
It is a lovely present for a friend who loves vintage fashion, a theater fan, a bride on her wedding morning, or anyone who keeps a favorite perfume on the dresser. Place it on a vanity tray next to real scent bottles, or on a bedroom shelf among handbag boxes. Turquoise also brings a welcome pop of color to a room done in white and silver.
A Fashionable Heritage
In eighteenth-century France, small porcelain boxes were carried as fashion accessories for snuff and beauty patches, so a fashion-themed box like this one fits right into that history.
