Traditional Blue Oval Limoges Pill Box
A soft oval outline and an all-blue finish give this porcelain pill box the quiet look of pieces passed down through a family. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, in a traditional style with an antique feel.
Old World Oval
The oval was a favorite of French box makers for good reason. It sits comfortably in the palm, slips easily into a pocket or purse, and has no corners to catch. Painted entirely in blue, this one lets its shape and color do the talking without any busy pattern.

Quiet Corners
Rest it on a nightstand, a bureau or a glass shelf, or let it sit in a dish beside a pair of reading glasses. It is a fitting present for a retirement, a birthday or a thank-you to someone who prefers understated things to showy ones. For a collector building a run of blue boxes, this oval makes a steady, simple starting point that other shapes can be grouped around.
