Round Porcelain Suitcase Limoges Box
Round and ready for a getaway, this travel suitcase recalls the hatbox-style cases carried aboard ocean liners and early airliners. This round case is porcelain, hand-painted and made in Limoges, France, as a Limoges box.
Grand Tour Luggage
Round cases were once a favorite for fashionable travelers, holding hats and toiletries on long journeys by rail and sea. This porcelain suitcase calls up that golden age of travel, when trunks were labeled with stickers from Paris, Rome and Cairo. It is a decorative piece, so no packing is required.
Packed for Adventure
Rest it on a guest room dresser, a hall table near the front door, or a bookshelf filled with travel memoirs. It suits a retirement trip send-off, a honeymoon, a graduate's gap year, or a travel agent's thank-you. Frequent fliers and cruise fans enjoy it as a small salute to the journeys they love.
