Madame Pompadour Pink Flower Limoges Box
Pink flowers cover this tall, flat porcelain box, shaped in the style named for Madame de Pompadour. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, with an outline that stands apart from plain round boxes.
A Nod to Madame de Pompadour
Madame de Pompadour was one of the great patrons of the arts at the court of Louis XV, and her name still brings to mind soft colors, flowers and graceful curves. This box borrows that mood with its pink blooms and its upright shape.
At the Dressing Table
- Porcelain made in Limoges and painted by hand
- Fits a floral, French history or pink themed display

For the Francophile Reader
Anyone who reads about eighteenth century France, or who has toured Versailles, will recognize the name at once. It makes a thoughtful birthday present for that friend, or a Mother's Day surprise for a mother who loves pink.
Because it stands tall and flat, it can lean gently against the back of a shelf, showing off its painted face rather than its edge.
