Classic Round Pill Box in Green, Limoges Porcelain

Green is the main color on this traditional round pill box, a simple shape that lets the painted finish speak for itself. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, in one of the oldest forms the craft knows.

A Classic in Green

Round pill boxes are the foundation of many Limoges collections, and green gives this one a fresh, calm character. The color is painted by hand, so each box has small variations in tone.

Where It All Began

Small porcelain boxes became popular in 18th-century France, carried for snuff, pills and beauty patches. A plain round box like this one carries that history in its simplest form.
