Crown Top Blue Limoges Pill Box

A small porcelain crown perches on top of this round blue pill box, turning a classic form into something fit for a palace dressing room. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, in the traditional round pill box style.

Fit for a Queen

Crowns have topped French decorative pieces since the days of the royal court, and a crowned lid instantly signals ceremony. Here the crown gives the plain round box height and a playful sense of importance, while the blue keeps the whole piece cool and composed.

Coronation Day Moments

It makes a fitting present for a birthday, an anniversary or a promotion, or a playful nod to the friend everyone calls the queen of the house. Set it on a vanity, a bedside table or in a curio cabinet, where the crown rises above the flatter boxes around it. For a collector who follows the British royals or simply likes a regal touch, it is a small, cheerful bit of pageantry.
