Blue Eiffel Tower 2000 Porcelain Limoges Box

The Eiffel Tower, painted in blue and marked for the year 2000, recalls the night Paris lit up its famous landmark to greet the new millennium. This porcelain box was decorated by hand in Limoges, France, and was issued as a limited edition.

Midnight Over the Seine

As the clock struck twelve on January 1, 2000, the Eiffel Tower sparkled with lights and fireworks, and the image traveled around the world. This blue version of the tower captures that celebratory moment, turning a Parisian icon into a dated piece of millennium history. The blue finish also sets it apart from the gold and bronze towers more often seen in Limoges collections.
