Oval Ballerina Hand-Painted Limoges Box
A ballerina takes center stage on this oval porcelain box, poised as if the music is about to begin. This Limoges box was hand-painted in Limoges, France, and it carries all the grace of a night at the ballet.
Curtain Up
Ballet has charmed audiences in France since the days of the royal court, and a ballerina remains one of the most graceful subjects in porcelain. The smooth oval shape frames her like a stage.

From Recital to Nutcracker Season
It makes a lovely present after a dance recital, a thank-you for a ballet teacher, or an opening night memento for a theater lover. During December it fits right in with Nutcracker decorations.
On a vanity, a bedroom shelf or a bookcase in a dance studio, it brings a quiet elegance that suits both longtime ballet fans and anyone who simply loves the art form. Many dancers keep a piece like this as a reminder of the years spent at the barre.
