Light Blue Limoges Box with Bow and Flowers

Soft light blue wraps this oval box, and the lid carries a painted bow with flowers gathered around it, so the whole piece looks like a present tied up for someone special. Painters in Limoges, France, finished this porcelain box entirely by hand.

Tied With a Ribbon

Bows have decorated French porcelain since the days of Louis XV, when ribbons and garlands were everywhere at court. Here that old motif feels fresh against a pale blue ground. Each petal and loop of ribbon is painted by hand, so every box shows slight differences in color and line.

Bridal Shower Sweetness

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Suits a floral, ribbon or pastel blue collection
• A gentle choice for a bridal shower, an anniversary or a heartfelt thank you

On the Dressing Table

An oval shape sits gracefully on a dressing table, a vanity tray or a guest room dresser, where it can hold a ring or a pair of earrings overnight. It pairs especially well with other bow and garland boxes, and with pink or ivory pieces that share its soft palette. For a bride, it can also serve as her something blue.
