Red Purse with Flower Porcelain Limoges Box

A red purse finished with a flower makes this porcelain box a little fashion statement. It was shaped and painted by hand in Limoges, France, a Limoges box styled after a handbag rather than a bag you can carry.

Red Carpet Ready

Red is the color of confidence, and a red purse has long been the accessory that finishes an outfit. The single flower adds a feminine detail, like a corsage pinned to the front. Fashion themed boxes like this one are a lively part of Limoges collecting, and the bold red helps it stand out.

Accessories Aisle

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Belongs in a fashion, handbag or red themed collection
• Pairs well with lipstick, high heel and hat boxes

For the Woman With Style

This purse suits a fashion lover's birthday, a new job celebration, a thank you for a personal stylist or a bridesmaid who wore red. It looks smart on a dressing table next to a jewelry tray, on a closet shelf among real handbags, or on a desk in a boutique.

Some collectors build a whole wardrobe in porcelain, and a red purse is often the first accessory they choose.
