Venice Masquerade Woman Porcelain Limoges Box
A woman dressed for a Venetian masquerade brings the mystery of Carnival to this porcelain Limoges box. It was hand-painted in Limoges, France, as a figural piece that captures the drama of masked balls and candlelit canals.
Behind the Venetian Mask
Carnival in Venice dates back centuries, when masks let nobles and commoners mingle freely through the narrow streets and grand palazzos. Today the festival still draws visitors from around the world each winter before Lent.

Souvenirs of Italy
Give it to someone just back from Venice, a friend planning a trip to Italy, or an opera fan who loves a dramatic costume. It also suits a Mardi Gras party host or a theater costume designer.

It brings a touch of Venetian intrigue to any room, and a reminder of foggy lagoon mornings to anyone who has been there.
