Blue Handbag Limoges Box with Painted Roses

Roses bloom across a blue porcelain purse in this piece, a pairing with a hint of French country style. Hand-painted in Limoges, France, it is a handbag-shaped Limoges box with antiqued brass accents.

Provence in Porcelain

Blue and rose together call to mind painted shutters, flower boxes, and printed tablecloths from the south of France. The blue body lets the roses pop, and the brass adds a soft, aged gleam. It is a cheerful piece without being loud.

Sisters, Aunts and Best Friends

This purse makes a kind remembrance for a sister, aunt or close friend, or a thank you for someone who hosted a family gathering. It also marks a birthday nicely for anyone who decorates with blue.

Building a Rose Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A natural member of a rose themed group or handbag run
• Pairs with French country pottery and floral linens

Set it on a kitchen hutch, a guest bath shelf, or a breakfront with blue patterned plates. Because the roses are hand-painted, their size and spacing vary slightly from one purse to the next.
