Light Blue Tea Cart Porcelain Limoges Box

A light blue tea cart, set and ready to roll into the parlor, captures the gentle ritual of afternoon tea in this hand-painted porcelain Limoges box. It was shaped and painted in Limoges, France.

Rolling In for Tea

The tea cart has been a fixture of gracious homes since Victorian days, bringing pot, cups and treats right to the guests. Its soft light blue and the details of the setting are painted by hand, so the tones vary a little from box to box.

Who Pours

This is a lovely thank-you for a bridal shower or garden party hostess, a tearoom owner, or a friend who keeps a special set of china for company. It also makes a pretty Mother's Day surprise, and a welcome addition for a collector of blue and white china.
