Red Flower Shaped Porcelain Limoges Box

Bright red petals curl around the edge of this flower shaped box, a single bloom in a color that refuses to be overlooked. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box from Limoges, France, sized as a medium flower and finished in a warm, saturated red.

A Bloom That Never Wilts

Cut flowers fade in a week, but this red blossom keeps its color year after year. The petal shapes are molded into the porcelain itself, then painted by hand so the tones deepen toward the center the way a real flower darkens near its heart.

Planting a Porcelain Bouquet

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Pairs nicely with yellow, orange and pink flower boxes for a mixed bouquet

Red Letter Days

Set it on a sunny windowsill, a nightstand or a vanity tray where its color can carry across the room. It is an easy pick for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or a summer birthday, and a nice way to thank a friend who keeps a flower garden. A row of different blossoms along a mantel looks like a florist's window that never needs watering.
