Blue Floral Purse Porcelain Limoges Box with Brass Trim

Blue flowers bloom across this little purse, finished with antiqued brass trim for an heirloom look. The handbag is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France.

Something Blue

Blue flowers have a calm, classic charm, recalling cornflowers in a summer field and blue and white china in a country kitchen. Here they are painted by hand, while the antiqued brass trim gives the purse a gently aged finish.

A Bride's Little Secret

The old wedding rhyme calls for something blue, and this purse answers it beautifully as a bridal shower present or a thank-you for a bridesmaid. It also suits a sapphire anniversary, a September birthday or a friend whose home is full of blue and white.

Blue Room Pairings

Painted, Mounted, Finished

Many Limoges boxes are hand-painted after the white porcelain has been fired, and their metal mounts are fitted by hand as well. Set this purse on a vanity, a guest room dresser or a shelf of blue and white china.
