The process for making the metal band, hinge & the clasp for each Limoges box is a lengthy &complicated process.

Therefore, the metalwork must be fitted individually to the top & bottom piece which is different from any other piece made in the same batch.

Limoges boxes are made by various artists & workshops & can have various styles of signatures and/or back stamps.

Boxes from the same artist or workshop may have a variety of insignia styles, as each artist hand-signs their piece. They can have both the stamp of the manufacturing artist as well as hand-signed lettering or initials. The insignia on every authentic Limoges box must include the phrase "Peint Main" or "Peint ala main" which means the Limoges box is painted by hand.
