Small Round Irish Clover Limoges Box

Small, round and easy to love, this box carries an Irish clover on its lid as a quiet nod to good luck. The clover was painted by hand on porcelain made in Limoges, France.

Luck of the Clover

The clover has long stood for Irish heritage and a bit of fortune, and it reads clearly even on a piece this modest. The round shape keeps things simple, letting the green leaves be the focus. It is the sort of box that slips easily into a group without crowding anything around it.

Little Charm, Big Meaning

• Round shape with an Irish clover theme
• Suits an Irish heritage, good luck or St. Patrick's Day grouping
• Small enough for a dresser top or bedside table

A Pocket of Good Fortune

Give it to someone starting a new job, moving into a new home, or heading off on a big trip, as a small wish for luck on the way. It also works as a thank-you for a friend who shares your Irish roots. On display, it looks right beside a framed family crest, green glassware, or a stack of Irish poetry.

Porcelain With Old French Roots

Tiny porcelain boxes first caught on in 18th-century France, where they held snuff, pills and beauty patches. Limoges makers still paint them by hand after the white porcelain comes out of the kiln.
