Flowers on a Gold Stand Porcelain Limoges Box

A cluster of flowers rises from a gold stand on this porcelain box, like a small arrangement set out for a special dinner. It is a hand-painted Limoges box from Limoges, France, with a raised form that gives it presence on any shelf.

A Bouquet on a Pedestal

Raised floral arrangements have long been used to dress formal tables, and this piece borrows that idea. The gold stand lifts the flowers and adds a warm glow beneath them.

Blooms That Never Fade

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Suits a floral, flower basket or formal dining collection
• Pairs with teapot, vase and other flower boxes

Fresh for Every Occasion

This is a bouquet that will never wilt, which makes it a lovely choice for Mother's Day, an anniversary or a thank-you to a favorite florist. It also works as a gentle sympathy token when cut flowers feel too fleeting.

Fired, Then Painted

Like all Limoges porcelain, this piece began as hard-paste porcelain fired in a very hot kiln. Once that white body comes out of the kiln, the flowers and gold are added by hand, layer by layer.
