Blue Oval Porcelain Limoges Pill Box

$179.00 $0.00

Sometimes the simplest shape says the most. This oval box in blue porcelain follows a traditional Limoges form, hand-painted and made in Limoges, France, with a lid that lifts to hold a ring, a few pills or a tiny keepsake.

True Blue Tradition

Long before figurine boxes came into fashion, the oval was a mainstay of small porcelain boxes. The clean outline lets the blue color carry the piece, and it fits easily with antique-style boxes and newer ones alike.

Back to the 1700s

Small porcelain boxes became fashionable in 18th-century France for holding snuff, pills and beauty patches. Limoges was well placed to make them after fine white kaolin clay turned up near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768, and the hard-paste porcelain fired there is still prized today.

Dresser Top Duty

  • Hand-painted blue porcelain from Limoges, France
  • A steady anchor for a traditional or antique-style box collection
  • Sits neatly on a dresser, a bedside table or a desk

Blue is a favorite among pill box collectors, and an oval like this makes a thoughtful present for a mother, a grandmother or a friend recovering from surgery. It also suits a fortieth birthday, a sapphire anniversary, or anyone who simply prefers blue to every other color.
