Crafted and signed “Peint Main Limoges France G.R.”, this piece captures the refined charm that has made Limoges boxes beloved by collectors around the world.

The pod opens to reveal five tiny porcelain peas inside — a delightful surprise that showcases both artistry and playfulness. The clasp features a dainty brass flower, and the glaze is richly shaded in tones of green that feel lifelike yet luminous.

This particular “food-form” Limoges box is among the most desirable collectible styles — the pea pod shape is notably harder to find than standard hearts or florals, and highly sought after for its sculptural form and intricate detailing. See less
