Vintage Limoges Box Oyster Shell

Genuine hand-painted French porcelain Limoges Box novelties are all imported from the heart of the city of Limoges, France. Once the playthings of the wealthy, French Limoges trinket boxes were originally designed as snuff boxes to hold tobacco. These French Trinket Boxes later evolved to contain love letters, rings, jewelry and other precious gifts for special occasions and holidays. But, a French Porcelain Box is not simply a box - Limoge Boxes have become enduring symbols of love given to friends and relatives, often passed down to children and grandchildren as lasting family momentous.
