Limoges Woodcock Porcelain Box, Aratoria, France

A Limoges box is a small extravagance with a long history — the kind of thing kept on a dresser and opened just to admire the hinge.

This Aratoria one is hand-painted with a woodcock in flight through ferns, finished with a gilt rim, 4.5" across. French porcelain at its most particular: tiny, exact, made to be handled and kept.

Each piece is vintage or antique and has lived a life before finding its way to Tallmadge Ave; natural signs of age, wear, patina, and imperfections are part of its character and are to be expected. All pieces are sold as-is, and any notable condition issues are described in the product listing. That said, if it arrives damaged or isn't as described, we'll refund you in full, including shipping — since each piece is one of a kind, we can't simply send a replacement. Otherwise, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Questions any time at christine@tallmadgeave.com — we're a two-person shop, and we answer.
