Vintage JB Limoges France FRENCH Porcelain Bonbonnière Trinket Pot
Height: 1 1/2 inches
Weight: 115 g
Circumference: 10 1/2 inches
Maker’s Marks: J/B Limoges France
Notes / other details: lid features a delicate pink rose in full bloom and the neck of the pot features gilt foliage and florals
This charming bonbonnière, a dainty trinket pot crafted by J/B Limoges in France, is a quaint relic of ceramic artistry. The lid, adorned with a tenderly painted pink rose in full bloom, suggests a romantic sentiment, evoking the traditional rose as a symbol of affection and admiration. The circumference of the pot, measuring 10 1/2 inches, is gracefully embellished with gilt foliage and florals, reflecting a classic French aesthetic that Limoges porcelain is renowned for.
Limoges porcelain has been a staple of French craftsmanship since the late 18th century, celebrated for its translucency and purity of white. The town of Limoges, situated in the Limousin region, became a hub of porcelain production due to the discovery of kaolin in its soil, a key ingredient for creating the fine, hard paste that defines porcelain.
The maker’s mark of J/B Limoges indicates a lineage of quality and prestige, as these pieces were often collected by those who appreciated the finer things in life. This particular bonbonnière, with its compact height of 1 1/2 inches and weight of 115 grams, is a miniature treasure, a keepsake of bygone days when such items were cherished not only for their utility but for their ornamental value.
Collectors and enthusiasts of vintage French porcelain would find in this piece a splendid example of Limoges’ heritage, a snapshot of the meticulous craftsmanship and elegant design that have made such objects sought after across centuries. It is a small yet significant testament to the enduring allure of Limoges porcelain, a craft that has graced the homes and palaces of those with a discerning eye for beauty.
