Fluttering Limoges Boxes

Butterflies are amongst the most beautiful insects and they have fascinated humans for centuries.  Many people love to study, watch for, and collect butterflies.  Their vibrant colors, different shapes, and ranges of sizes make for a very entertaining hobby, if not just an occasional diversion as they flitter by us in a wide variety of habitats.

A beautiful example of the gorgeous designs on a butterfly's wings, Limoges boxes artisans capture them exquisitely.

Any other insect, like a beetle or cockroach, would send chills up our spine if they were anywhere remotely near us.  But, we love butterflies because they appeal to us on a visceral and subconscious level.  They gracefully move about, looking glorious with their brightly colored wings, gracing us with their presence only for a short while before they move on to another flutter-worthy spot. 

Compliment your collection with these brilliantly hand-painted Limoges boxes

As butterflies add color and charisma to the insect world, they do the same for any collection of Limoges boxes.   To acquire one of these beautiful gifts of nature, without ever having to use a net or a jar, see our very own butterfly collection at www.limogesboxcollector.com.

Limoges Tips - Colors used in Porcelain Limoges Boxes

Did You Know that with each color, the Limoges porcelain has to be fired in the kiln?  Limoges boxes are hand-painted with beautiful designs in various colors.  The colors used are in powder form.  Powder is mixed with special oils and applied with a brush.  When gold is used, it is pure 24K Gold powder.   The more colors are used on the Limoges box, the more times it has to be fired in the kiln.  Each firing takes a few hours and the porcelain has to cool off for a few more hours before the next color is applied.  That is why the creation of the Limoges box is so labor-intensive.  The result, however, is a masterpiece - one to be truly cherished!
