Periwinkle Blue Typewriter Porcelain Limoges Box

A periwinkle blue typewriter, the trusty tool of writers and reporters for generations, takes shape on this porcelain box. This Limoges box was hand-painted in Limoges, France, and it carries a bit of old newsroom charm.

Clacking Keys and Ringing Bells

Before computers, every letter, novel and news story came off a typewriter. This little version honors that era with a soft periwinkle finish that feels both retro and fresh.

For Every Author

It makes a fine thank-you for an editor, a celebration of a book launch, or a retirement present for a longtime journalist. Book club hosts and aspiring novelists will appreciate it too, as will anyone who still remembers the ring of the carriage return at the end of a line.

A Box With a Story

Porcelain has been made in Limoges since the late 1700s, after kaolin was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche. Writers who love history may enjoy knowing their typewriter comes from such an old tradition.
