White Eiffel Tower Porcelain Limoges Box with Balloons

Balloons float up around a white Eiffel Tower on this porcelain box, as if all of Paris were throwing a party. It is a hand-painted Limoges box, made in Limoges, France, with a festive, celebratory spirit.

A Party on the Champ de Mars

The Eiffel Tower has hosted celebrations since it opened for the 1889 World's Fair, and fireworks still light it every Bastille Day. Pairing the tower in white with a bunch of balloons turns the landmark into a symbol of good news and happy occasions.

Celebrations Worth Marking

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A bright companion for other Eiffel Tower and Paris pieces
• Suits a birthday, graduation or celebration collection

Up, Up and Away

Give it for a milestone birthday, a graduation, an engagement in Paris, or a retirement party with a French theme. It also works as a congratulations for a promotion or a bon voyage before a trip abroad. The white tower looks crisp on a glass shelf, a mantel or a desk, and the balloons add just enough color to make the piece feel light and joyful. Collectors of Paris pieces like it as a cheerful change from more formal tower designs.
