Yellow and Green Perfume Limoges Box with Flowers

Sunny yellow and leafy green frame a spray of flowers on this perfume themed piece, the sort of thing that belongs among bottles and powder puffs. The piece was shaped and brushed with color in Limoges, France, as a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box for the vanity.

A Garden Behind the Atomizer

Scent and flowers have always gone together, and this box leans into that link with a cheerful color pairing rather than the pale pastels most vanity pieces wear. The yellow reads like early spring sunshine, while the green keeps the floral motif fresh. Because the color goes on by hand, the shading changes a little from one example to the next.

Company on the Dressing Table

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Groups naturally with perfume bottle, compact and lipstick subjects
• Adds a brighter note to a floral or vanity themed shelf

Spritz of Springtime Giving

Set it on a mirrored tray beside real fragrance bottles, or let it brighten a guest bath counter. It suits Mother's Day, a spring birthday, or a thank you for a friend who never leaves the house without a dab of her favorite scent. Someone who collects perfume pieces will notice the yellow and green right away, since it stands apart from the many pink and gold examples in the category.
