Once the playthings of the wealthy, French Limoges porcelain boxes were originally designed as snuff boxes to hold tobacco. The boxes later evolved to contain love letters, rings and other precious jewelry. But a Limoges box is not simply a box - Limoges boxes and figurines have become enduring symbols of love, given to friends and relatives, and also passed down to children and grandchildren as lasting family mementos. The traditional and modern French Limoges porcelain boxes and figurines featured on these pages are the products of centuries of painstaking porcelain perfection. Some designs shown here are exclusive to this website - one-of-a-kind works of art that will delight the recipient and will become the centerpiece of any curio cabinet display. Whether they hold engagement rings to be presented to a sweetheart, or are part of an annual birthday or holiday ritual, these French Limoges porcelain boxes and figurines speak of an unsurpassed quality and timeless value. 

Craftsmanship. Beauty. Timelessness. The soft, undulating lines of a French Limoges porcelain boxes and figurine capture the imagination. Porcelain dates back over 4,000 years, and owes its name to an Italian word for a cowrie shell, porcellana, because of its translucence. But while translucent, porcelain also is known for being strong yet delicate, much like love. In fact, porcelain keepsake boxes are inextricably linked with romance, as they often contain the mementos of lovers, a lock of hair, a sensuous letter, irreplaceable jewelry and other small sentimental objects. While others see the beauty of the outside of the porcelain box or figurine, you know that the interior holds something special and personal. Each piece from Limoges Boutique is genuine and authentic, complete with the markings of the French artist on its underside. These hinged porcelain boxes and figurines cannot be picked up at just any store. They can only be acquired from the experts commanding the largest inventory and the greatest variety of hinged porcelain boxes and figurines available in the world. From Limoges Boutique.
