Pink Oval Hand-Painted Limoges Pill Box
A pink oval in the classic pill box style, this porcelain piece carries on one of the oldest traditions in small French boxes. It is a hand-painted Limoges box from Limoges, France, sized in the spirit of the little boxes once tucked into a purse or a waistcoat pocket.
A Pocketful of History
Long before Limoges boxes became collectibles, small porcelain boxes were carried for pills, snuff and beauty patches. This pink oval nods to that heritage with its simple, graceful shape. The soft pink color keeps it feminine and timeless in feel, the kind of piece that looks equally at home today as it would have generations ago.

Little Tokens of Thanks
A pink pill box makes a lovely thank-you for a nurse, a pharmacist or a caregiver, and a sweet present for a mother, grandmother or bridesmaid. Set it on a nightstand, a vanity tray or a dressing table beside a jewelry dish. Because the oval shape is so classic, it blends easily with almost any style of room.
The Snuff Box Era
In eighteenth-century France, small porcelain boxes for snuff, pills and patches were fashionable accessories, and this oval honors that tradition directly.
