Red Flower Teapot Porcelain Limoges Box

Red flowers bloom all over this little teapot, bringing the cheer of a summer garden to the tea table. Each red bloom on this porcelain Limoges box was brushed on by hand in Limoges, France.

Steeped in Red Blossoms

A floral teapot is a classic of French and English tableware, and red flowers give this one a warm, welcoming look. The blossoms are painted by hand, so each teapot shows its own small variations in petal and shade.

White Clay, Hand-Painted Color

Porcelain has been made in Limoges since kaolin, a fine white clay, was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768. Many Limoges boxes are still painted by hand after the white porcelain is fired, which is how a little teapot like this gets its flowers.
