Limoges

The selection of a porcelain Limoges box is a thoughtful process sure to impress any gift-giving occasion.  Originally created to hold snuff, but also candies and other cherished objects, these miniature boxes became symbols of their times, reflecting, perhaps more than any other everyday object, the social mores, decorative skills, technological advances and even politics of the ancient regime.  Today, Limoges boxes are used to mark life's special occasions or collected as prizes of lasting beauty.
