Wildflowers and Roses Purse Shape Limoges Box

Wildflowers and roses tumble together across this purse shaped porcelain box, like a handbag carried through a country meadow. Each bloom was painted by hand in Limoges, France, on a Limoges box.

Meadow Meets Rose Garden

Roses bring formality while wildflowers bring freedom, and the mix gives this purse a relaxed, cottage garden look. It is the kind of floral pattern that feels right in any season. The hand painting means every petal carries its own small variations in shade.

The Handbag Collection

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Joins other floral purses in a handbag grouping
• Fits a cottage garden or rose themed shelf

A Bouquet to Carry

Think of it for a garden club friend, a bride who chose wildflowers for her bouquet, a Mother's Day morning, or a birthday in late spring. It also makes a lovely thank-you for a florist or a hostess with a talent for flower arranging.

Fired in the Limousin

Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat until it turns dense and white. Color is added by hand afterward, which is how pieces like this purse get their soft, layered flowers. Place it on a vanity, a guest room dresser or a sunny shelf among other floral purses.
