Flat Heart Limoges Box in Blue and Gold Stripes

Crisp blue and gold stripes run across this flat, heart shaped porcelain box, giving a classic romantic shape a tailored look. This hand-painted porcelain Limoges box comes from Limoges, France.

Love in Pinstripes

Most heart boxes lean on pinks and flowers, so the bold stripes here make a welcome change. Blue and gold feels dressed up and confident, the way a well cut suit does.

Lying Low on the Nightstand

The flat profile lets it rest neatly on a stack of books, a nightstand or a dresser tray. It also fits into shallow curio shelves where taller pieces will not go.

Hearts for Every Anniversary

• Fine porcelain, painted by hand in Limoges
• Belongs in a heart or blue and gold grouping
• Good for an anniversary, a wedding or a Valentine's Day surprise

It is an especially good choice when someone wants a romantic present that does not lean too sweet, and it sits comfortably in a room decorated in navy, gold or cream. Collectors of heart boxes often like having at least one striped design to break up a row of florals.
