Paris Eiffel Tower in Blue, Rochard Limoges Box

The most famous tower in the world takes on a cool shade of blue in this porcelain version, a fresh take on the Paris skyline. It is a Rochard Limoges box, its color brushed on by hand in Limoges, France.

Blue Hour Over Paris

Photographers love the moment after sunset when the sky over Paris turns deep blue and the tower begins to sparkle. This piece recalls that hour, setting the familiar iron silhouette in a color that stands apart from the gold, black and white towers many collectors already own.

Souvenir of the City of Light

Give it after a first trip to Paris, a honeymoon on the Seine, or a French class trip. It also suits a blue and white bedroom, a study lined with travel books, or a curio cabinet built around world landmarks. Families who collect a different color tower for each visit will be glad to add this one.

White Gold of Limoges

Limoges porcelain is hard-paste, fired at very high heat, which gives it the strength and fine white body painters rely on for colors like this.
