Light Blue Forget Me Not Heart Limoges Box

Soft light blue gives this heart its forget-me-not color, the shade of the tiny flower that has stood for remembrance and true love for centuries. The heart was painted by hand in Limoges, France, as a Limoges box.

Do Not Forget Me

The forget-me-not carries one of the most tender meanings in the language of flowers, a promise to remember. Echoing its color on a heart shape makes this piece quietly sentimental. Since the color is applied by hand, each heart differs slightly in tone.

• Joins other hearts in a romantic or remembrance grouping

Remembered With Love

This is a gentle way to honor a loved one who has passed, to mark a long-distance relationship, or to say goodbye to a friend moving away. It also makes a lovely something blue for a bride, a present for a mother on her birthday, or an anniversary token for a spouse.

A Tradition in Small Boxes

Little porcelain boxes became fashionable in 18th-century France for snuff, pills and beauty patches. This heart carries that small-box custom into a sentimental form. Place it on a nightstand, beside a framed photograph, or on a vanity where it can be seen every day.
