Pair of Mini Doves Porcelain Limoges Box
Two small doves sit together on this mini porcelain box, an image of devotion as old as poetry itself. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and one of the more petite bird pieces a collector can find.
Two Hearts, One Perch
Doves have stood for love, loyalty and peace across many cultures and centuries. Pairing them makes the meaning even clearer, which is why this design so often turns up at weddings and anniversaries. The mini size keeps the piece modest, letting the sweet subject speak for itself.
Tokens of Lasting Love
- Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
- Fits a bird, wildlife or wedding themed collection
- Pairs nicely with heart, wedding cake or love letter boxes
From Engagement to Golden Years
Present it to a newly engaged couple, tuck it beside the guest book at a wedding, or mark a twenty fifth or fiftieth anniversary with it. It also makes a gentle sympathy remembrance, since the dove is a symbol of peace. Because it is so small, it slips easily onto a crowded curio shelf, a nightstand or the corner of a vanity tray.
Small as it is, this pair of doves tends to carry a lot of feeling for whoever receives it.
