Light Blue Floral Oval Limoges Pill Box

Soft light blue and a painted floral design give this oval Limoges pill box a fresh, gentle look. It is hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France, in the traditional oval shape collectors have loved for generations.

Flowers in Every Season

Painted flowers have decorated Limoges boxes since the earliest days of the craft, and the light blue background here lets them stand out softly. It is a quiet, classic piece that feels at home in nearly any room. Unlike novelty shapes, a floral oval like this blends with whatever else sits on the shelf.

Vanity, Nightstand or Handbag

Keep it on a vanity tray, a nightstand or a dressing table, or tuck it into a handbag for a daily pill or a pair of earrings. It makes a thoughtful present for Mother's Day, a spring birthday or a bridal shower, and a bride might choose it as her something blue. The classic shape pairs well with other oval boxes in a curio cabinet.

Small porcelain boxes became fashionable in 18th-century France for holding snuff, pills and beauty patches, and a pill box like this one carries that original purpose forward.
