Paris Eiffel Tower Limoges Box in Spring Green

The Eiffel Tower stands on fresh spring green in this porcelain piece, an unexpected color for the Paris landmark that feels like April along the Seine, and its colors were brushed on in Limoges, France.

April in Paris

Spring is when Paris shows off, with chestnut trees in bloom and cafe tables spilling onto the sidewalks. The green setting here captures that season perfectly and gives this tower a look all its own. Its colors are applied by hand, so each piece has its own subtle shading.

Souvenir of a Spring Trip

This makes a lovely keepsake from a spring trip to Paris, a present for a Francophile birthday in April or May, or a graduation present for a student heading off to study abroad. It is also sweet for a couple who got engaged in Paris. Set it on a bookshelf with French novels, on a desk beside a framed photo from the trip, or in a curio with other landmarks. The fresh green brightens any shelf from Easter through early summer.
