Are you a Jane Austen Fan? Take Our Poll about Jane Austen Collectibles.

I grew up reading Jane Austen.  As soon as I started, I found myself hooked ... the more I read her books, the more I came to love love her and many of her characters.  Then I started watching the movies made of her books, first to enjoy and then to see how well they realized her stories.  I must admit, I have learned so much from Austen's characters (of course the good ones).  My absolute favorite is Elizabeth Bennet!

As a die-hard Austen fan, I have always been interested in any Jane Austen collectibles and own several beautiful pieces.   I am very happy to see that Beauchamp Limoges is now offering Jane Austen French Limoges collectibles, made in Limoges, France.  This is doubly special as these items are both collectible because they are genuine Limoges as well as being a treasure to any Jane Austen collector.

Limoges Tips - Are All Porcelain Limoges Boxes Hand-Painted?

Did You Know that the phrase "Peint Main" at the base of a Limoges box means that the porcelain is hand-painted?  Various colors can be applied by brush on white porcelain - the result depends on how talented and experienced the artist is.   Limoges boxes can also be decorated partially or entirely with decals (transfers).  Usually, decals are used when a famous art image is used in decorating a Limoges.  In this case, the decal is the center image and the rest of the Limoges has brush strokes of various designs to enhance the decoration.  The insignia of such a Limoges box will reflect that the Limoges is enhanced by hand or "Rehausee Main".
