Tall Light Blue Purse Limoges Box with Flowers

This purse stands tall and slender, covered in a soft light blue with flowers painted across its sides. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and its upright handbag shape gives it more presence than the usual squat purse box.

Something Blue for the Closet

Pale blue reads calm and airy, a color that suits spring mornings and seaside cottages alike. The painted flowers add a garden note, and the tall outline recalls a structured top-handle bag, the kind saved for a wedding, a christening or a long lunch in town.

Pastel Pairings

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits purse, fashion and pastel floral groupings
• Sits well beside pink and white handbag shapes

Presents With Polish

For a bride, it covers the something blue tradition in a way she can keep long after the wedding. It also makes a cheerful birthday present for a friend who loves handbags, a Mother's Day thank-you, or a bridesmaid keepsake to mark the day.

Standing Tall on the Vanity

Its height makes it a good back-row piece on a crowded shelf, where shorter boxes can sit in front. On a vanity or dresser it pairs nicely with a silver tray, and in a curio cabinet the pale blue sets off darker pieces around it.
