Blue Shoes with Flowers Porcelain Limoges Box

A pair of blue shoes decorated with flowers looks ready for a spring wedding or an afternoon garden party. Their blue and white floral finish was painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Stepping Out in Blue

Blue and white has been a beloved color pairing in porcelain for centuries, from Delft tiles to Chinese export ware. Bringing it to a pair of shoes gives this piece a fresh, classic look, and the flowers add a breath of summer garden.

Something Blue

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A natural something blue for a bride on her wedding day
• Fits a shoe, fashion or blue and white collection

Dressing Room Display

Give it as a bridal shower present, a bridesmaid thank-you, or a birthday surprise for a friend who never met a pair of shoes she didn't like. Set it on a vanity, a dressing table or in a china cabinet among blue and white plates, where the colors echo one another nicely.

Collectors of shoe boxes often look for a blue pair to balance the many pink and red ones, and this floral design fills that spot well.
