Velvet Lined Blue Rectangle Pill Box in Limoges Porcelain
Blue paintwork wraps this rectangular porcelain pill box, and lifting the lid reveals a soft velvet lining inside. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, with the straight, tidy lines of a traditional design.
Velvet Beneath the Blue
A velvet lining is a small touch that changes how a box feels in the hand. A ring, a pair of earrings or a few pills rest quietly inside rather than rattling against bare porcelain, and the soft interior gives the piece the feel of a tiny jewelry case.

Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat, which gives it the clean white body that takes painted color so well. Many boxes are still painted by hand after that firing, and this blue rectangle carries on the practice.
