Blue and Yellow Porcelain Egg Limoges Box

Bold blue and sunny yellow wrap this porcelain egg from crown to base, a bright splash of color for a spring shelf. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and it opens to a small hollow inside.

Sunshine Meets Sky Blue

Blue and yellow is a pairing long tied to the French countryside, from Provence fabrics to farmhouse pottery. On this egg the two shades play off each other, the cool blue settling the bright yellow so the piece reads as cheerful rather than loud.

The Egg Basket Lineup

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Joins an Easter, spring or decorative egg collection
• Looks right beside floral eggs and pastel bunny pieces

From Easter Morning Onward

Set it on a small stand, a bookshelf or in a glass cabinet with other eggs, where the yellow catches the eye from across the room. It suits an Easter basket for a grown-up, a spring birthday, or a thank-you for the friend who hosts brunch each year. Once the holiday passes, its colors keep working on a sunny windowsill well into summer, so it never has to go back into hiding.
