Blue Purse Limoges Box with Pink Flowers

Pink flowers bloom against a blue ground on this purse-shaped porcelain box, a handbag made for admiring rather than carrying. Hand-painted in Limoges, France, this Limoges box pairs two sweet colors in a classic fashion silhouette.

Pink on Blue

Pink flowers on blue are a pairing straight out of a spring dress, soft and cheerful at once. The handbag shape adds a touch of style, like the bag one might carry to a garden wedding or a long lunch with friends.

Accessory Appeal

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits purse, fashion and pink floral groupings
• Pairs with shoe, hat and compact mirror shapes

Who Will Carry It Home

It makes a lovely present for a bridesmaid, a birthday surprise for a friend with a closet full of handbags, or a Mother's Day thank-you. Fashion students and boutique owners will appreciate the nod to their trade as well.

Pretty Places to Perch

Set it on a dresser, a vanity tray or a closet shelf beside real handbags for a playful touch. The two colors also tie together blue and pink pieces nearby, so it works well as a bridge in a mixed display.
