Blue Limoges Egg Box with Gold Lines
Clean lines of gold sweep across a blue shell, giving this egg a tailored, formal look with no busy pattern to distract from its shape. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and the top half opens.
Blue Velvet and Gilt
Blue and gold is one of the oldest pairings in French porcelain, seen on palace dinner services and grand vases alike. Here it is pared down to its essentials: a deep color and a few confident gold lines. The restraint is the point, so the egg looks right in a traditional room as easily as in a modern one.

Under the Cabinet Lights
Gold lines catch light beautifully, so a lit curio cabinet or a mantel near a lamp shows this egg at its best. It suits an anniversary, a promotion or a dressy birthday, especially for someone whose home leans toward navy and brass. Placed on a small stand at the front of a display, it draws the eye and sets a refined tone for everything around it.
