Blue Deco Heart Shaped Limoges Box

A heart shape meets crisp Art Deco styling on this blue porcelain box, softening a bold, graphic look with a sweet outline. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and joins the long line of heart boxes collectors seek out.

Jazz Age Valentine

Art Deco design took hold in the 1920s and 1930s, favoring clean lines and confident color. Pairing that spirit with a heart gives this piece a smart, slightly glamorous feel that sets it apart from the rosy, frilly hearts more often seen on a vanity.

Love Notes for Every Season

Set it on a dresser, a desk or a mirrored tray in the bedroom. It makes a thoughtful Valentine's Day or anniversary present, especially for someone whose taste runs more toward city style than country charm. It also suits a wedding party thank-you or an engagement token for a couple who met over cocktails and a jazz record. A heart in blue rather than red reads as a little cooler and more modern on the shelf.
