Flowers and ribbons are painted across the white ground of this heart shaped porcelain box, a soft and romantic design in the Marie Antoinette style. The porcelain was shaped and hand-painted in Limoges, France, making it a true Limoges box.
Ribbons Fit for a Queen
Marie Antoinette loved flowers, bows and pale colors, and her taste still shapes how many people picture the French court. This heart carries that same light, garden-party feeling.

Saying I Do
A heart with painted ribbons is a natural present for a wedding, an engagement, an anniversary or Valentine's Day. It also makes a quiet thank-you for a maid of honor or a mother of the bride.
Shaped in Limoges Since the 1700s
Porcelain has been made in Limoges since the late eighteenth century, when kaolin, the fine white clay it needs, was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche. That white body is what lets the pale colors on this heart look so fresh.
