Marie Antoinette Style Blue Egg Limoges Box with Bow

A blue egg painted with a bow and flowers in the spirit of Marie Antoinette brings a touch of Versailles to the shelf. Made in Limoges, France, this porcelain Limoges box was decorated entirely by hand, and its upper half lifts away.

A Queen's Ribbon

Marie Antoinette loved pastel colors, flowers and ribbons, and her taste shaped French decorative arts in the late eighteenth century. This egg borrows that style with a soft blue ground, a painted bow and gentle blooms. Every detail is brushed on by hand, so each egg carries its own slight variations.

Let Them Have Porcelain

It makes a playful present for a history fan, a francophile planning a trip to Versailles, or a bride who wants a little royal flair. Set it on a vanity beside a powder puff, a bedside table or a curio cabinet of French style pieces. At a bridal shower or a tea party, it becomes the conversation starter of the table.
