Blue Porcelain Heart Limoges Box Painted with Roses
A blue heart painted with roses makes this retired Limoges box a cool, calm take on a romantic classic. Every rose on its surface was applied by hand in Limoges, France.
Something Blue, Something Rose
Most hearts come in red or pink, so a blue one stands out right away. The color brings to mind the something blue of wedding tradition, while the roses keep the old language of love intact. Together they make a heart that feels both serene and sentimental.
Matters of the Heart

For the Bride and Beyond
A blue heart makes a meaningful something blue for a bride to carry or keep, and later it can sit on the newlyweds' dresser as a memento of the day. It also suits a sapphire anniversary, a September birthday, or a thank-you for someone who has been a steady friend. On a shelf of pink and red hearts, it adds a welcome change of color.
Retired heart boxes are a much-loved category among collectors, and a blue one painted with roses is an especially graceful find.
