Vintage French Limoges pillbox

This sweet little pillbox is made from porcelain and signed Limoges. Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain produced by factories in and around the city of Limoges, France beginning in the late 18th century. By about 1830 Limoges, which was close to the areas where suitable clay was found, had replaced Paris as the main centre for private porcelain factories, although the state-owned Sèvres porcelain near Paris remained dominant at the very top of the market. This little pillbox is in fantastic condition, very nicely adorned with flowers in great colours and some gold splashed as well. Size 6 x 4 x h 3.5cm. Weight of the item is 56 grms. Postage from France is included.
