Heart Shaped Limoges Box with Pink Flowers on a Vine
Pink flowers climb along a slender vine across this heart-shaped porcelain box, a design in the graceful Madame Pompadour manner. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and romance runs through every petal.
A Vine Worthy of Versailles
Madame de Pompadour, the influential companion of Louis XV, championed French porcelain and loved delicate florals and soft pinks. A trailing vine of pink blossoms on a heart is very much in that spirit, refined and feminine without being fussy, just as at home today as in an 18th-century salon.

Love Notes in Porcelain
It makes a loving present for Mother's Day, an anniversary, Valentine's Day or a daughter's wedding morning. Many people choose it for a grandmother whose garden was always full of climbing roses. Place it on a vanity beside a favorite perfume, on a nightstand or in a china cabinet among other heart boxes. Collectors who love French history appreciate the nod to Pompadour, while anyone can enjoy the simple sweetness of flowers on a heart.
