A charming Limoges porcelain pillbox from the 1970s, inspired by eighteenth‑century models. Oval in shape and decorated with a hand‑painted butterfly surrounded by delicate flowers, it carries that graceful, old‑world touch that makes Limoges pieces so distinctive. Its brass rim and butterfly‑shaped clasp add a refined accent — a tiny detail that gives the pillbox its character.
On a dressing table or a bedside table, it becomes a small companion, perfect for slipping a ring inside at the end of the day. A miniature treasure, decorative and quietly poetic.

More Information
Limoges porcelain
Porcelain was first produced in Limoges in 1771, and King Louis XV elevated the factory to the status of a royal manufactory. After the Revolution, François Alluaud — owner of a porcelain factory — became a pioneer in the industrial development of Limoges porcelain. He introduced innovations and refined the manufacturing processes.
At the beginning of the 19th century, factories multiplied throughout the city, and Limoges porcelain grew increasingly renowned across Europe.
The arrival of New Yorker David Haviland in Limoges in 1842 marked a turning point. Under his influence, Limoges porcelain began to be exported across the Atlantic. Americans spent lavishly on the delicate and elegant pieces they adored. Haviland also promoted porcelain in Second Empire Paris, where it met with great success.
Today, Limoges porcelain remains a symbol of excellence among the great French craft houses, such as Haviland and Bernardaud.
