Sea Shell Shaped Porcelain Limoges Box

Like a treasure found at low tide, this sea shell carries the memory of waves rolling in and sand warm underfoot. Its shell form was shaped in porcelain and painted by hand in Limoges, France, as a Limoges box.

Treasures of the Tide Line

Shell collecting is one of the oldest seaside pleasures, from sand pails on summer mornings to Victorian cabinets of curiosities. This porcelain shell keeps that joy close at hand, long after the beach towels are put away. Its natural form makes it as pleasing to hold as it is to look at.

Coastal Living Indoors

Display it in a bowl of real shells, on a bathroom vanity with a seaside theme, or on a beach house mantel. It is a lovely memento of a family vacation, a housewarming present for a new coastal home, or a thank-you for hosts who shared their summer cottage. Sanibel shell hunters and Gulf Coast visitors will especially enjoy it.
