Tall Shaped Porcelain Limoges Box in Pastels

Soft pastel colors cover this tall shaped porcelain box, a gentle and graceful form that feels at home in almost any room. It is a traditional Limoges box, fired in Limoges, France, and colored entirely by hand.

Sweet Shades of Spring

Pastels have been favorites in French decorative arts since the days of Madame de Pompadour, when rose, mint and powder blue filled the salons of Paris. A tall, shaped silhouette gives those colors more surface to play across than a simple round box.

A Quiet Room's Companion

This box suits a nursery-turned-guest room, a bedroom with pale linens, or a bathroom with soft-colored tile and fluffy towels. It is a gentle present for a new mother, an Easter basket, a spring birthday or a thank-you to a nurse or caregiver. Because it is not tied to a theme, it fits nearly any collection, and its height adds variety when placed among lower round and oval boxes.

A Long Tradition
