Turquoise Lady's Fashion Boot Limoges Box

A lady's fashion boot in vivid turquoise steps onto the shelf in this porcelain piece. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, with the boot itself forming the box.

Striding Out in Turquoise

Shoe pieces are a favorite among Limoges collectors, and a boot in this shade stands out among the usual pumps and slippers. Turquoise reads as both playful and polished, the color of a statement accessory. Since each boot is painted by hand, the tone varies slightly from piece to piece.

Closet Worthy Company

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a shoe, fashion or ladies' accessories grouping
• Pairs with high heel, handbag and hat box pieces

Fashion Fired in France

Many Limoges boxes are painted by hand after the white porcelain has been fired, then finished with metal mounts fitted by hand. That careful work suits a fashion subject, where color is everything. Give it to a shoe collector, a friend with a closet full of boots, a boutique owner or a fashion student at graduation, and display it on a vanity, a dresser or a walk-in closet shelf.
