Ladies Shoe with Parfumerie Paris Design, Limoges Box
The Parfumerie Paris design is painted across this porcelain ladies shoe, tying it to the perfume shop theme of the whole series. The shoe is the box, hand-painted in Limoges, France, and ready to step onto a fashion shelf.
A Shoe With a Signature Scent
Perfume and shoes are two of the great pleasures of a Paris shopping day, and this piece puts them together. The design is brushed on by hand, so the lettering and color vary slightly from one shoe to the next.
Completing the Parfumerie Paris Set
Collectors of this series usually want the shoe to go with the egg, the shopping bag and the hatbox. Lined up together, the four pieces look like a shop window on a Paris street, each one carrying the same perfume house theme.
Where to Set It Down
- Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
- Fits a shoe, perfume or Paris collection
- Looks smart in a curio cabinet with other shoe pieces
It makes a stylish present for a shoe lover, a perfume enthusiast, or a friend just back from Paris with a suitcase full of shopping bags. It also suits a bridal shower or a birthday with a French theme. Hand-painted after the white porcelain is fired, Limoges pieces like this one carry the personal touch of the decorator.
