It is so cute that I can barely stand it. The box is not dated, but inside the lid reads a machine-applied inscription. The box is hand-numbered beneath that inscription. This box is number 513/750, so apparently the company made 750 of this exact box. Ive not seen this detail in any other box for sale on line, but the box contains a small, sage-green, porcelain postcard that reads.
Love from France, and features a tiny drawing of a stamp, a red heart, and an Eiffel Tower. Taken together, the box and kit are obviously meant to be a souvenir an American brought back from a trip to Europe. I really cannot say this heartily enough: This box, with its contents, is irresistible. If you collect Limoges boxes, know someone who does, love to travel to Europe, love darling little things, are looking to fill a small curio with charming items, or have a mom or wife or friend who fits into any of those categories, this box is for you!!
