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".
