Tall Flat Turquoise Floral Limoges Box

Turquoise sets the tone on this tall, flat box, with flowers painted across its surface like a cool summer garden. The hand-painted Limoges box was made in Limoges, France, and its slim profile lets it stand out among rounder shapes.

Cool Water Blooms

Turquoise brings to mind tropical lagoons and desert jewelry, a color that feels calm and lively at once. Combined with flowers, it gives this piece a breezy, refreshing character that brightens a room.

A Splash of Turquoise

Stand it upright on a bookshelf, a desk or a vanity where its flat face shows off the painting. It makes a lovely present for a December birthday, since turquoise is that month's birthstone color, or for anyone whose favorite color is blue green.

Born of White Clay

The Limoges trade grew after kaolin was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768. That fine white clay is what lets a strong color like turquoise read so cleanly on the finished box.
