A classic egg shape, decorated with painted designs, carries the long tradition of decorated eggs into Limoges porcelain. Each brushstroke on this box was applied in Limoges, France.
An Egg for Every Season
Decorated eggs have been prized across Europe for centuries, from simple dyed Easter eggs to the jeweled creations of the Russian imperial court. This porcelain egg sits in that lineage, offering a smooth oval canvas that the painter can fill with color and pattern.

From Easter Baskets to Curio Shelves
An egg makes a graceful Easter present, a thank-you for a spring hostess, or a token for a new mother, since eggs have long stood for new beginnings. It also suits anyone who already displays a row of decorative eggs in a cabinet or on small stands along a windowsill.
Like other hard-paste porcelain from Limoges, this egg was fired at very high heat before the paint was added.
