Golden Blooms on Cobalt Heart Hand-Painted Limoges Box

Gold Flowers on a Midnight Heart
Cobalt and gold have shared the surface of fine French porcelain for centuries, and they still look rich together. On a heart, the combination takes on a more personal meaning, like a love letter sealed in blue wax and gold leaf. The flowers soften the formality and keep the piece warm.

- Sits handsomely beside a cobalt egg or a footed blue and gold egg
Words Left Unsaid
This is a natural choice for Valentine's Day, a wedding anniversary, an engagement or a quiet thank-you to someone dear. Hearts are among the most collected Limoges shapes, so a cobalt one adds depth to a row of pink and white hearts. On a nightstand, a dresser or a writing desk, it serves as a small daily reminder of the person who gave it.
Where Hearts Are Made
Limoges porcelain has been fired since the late 1700s, when kaolin found nearby made true hard-paste porcelain possible in France.
