Blue and Orange Heart Limoges Box

Deep blue meets bright orange on this heart, a pairing that feels more like a sunset over the sea than a valentine. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and the bold colors give a familiar romantic shape a fresh personality.

Opposites Attract

Blue and orange sit across from each other on the color wheel, which is exactly why they look so lively together. On a porcelain heart that contrast keeps the piece from blending into a row of pastel pinks, and it lets the shape hold its own from across a room.

Who Will Want It

This heart suits the collector who likes a little daring. It works for a couple whose love story has some spark, for a friend who decorates with strong colors, or for anyone gathering heart shapes in every shade. It also fits a summer or beach house shelf, where orange and blue echo sand and water.

A Bold Heart on Display

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Anchors a heart grouping or a color-blocked shelf
• Gives as an anniversary, Valentine or just-because present

Warm and Cool in One

Place it between softer pieces and the colors do the work, drawing the eye to the center of the display. It looks equally at home on a modern bookshelf, a white mantel or the corner of a desk where a little color is welcome.
