Artoria Sunflower Porcelain Limoges Box Figurine

A bright sunflower opens wide in this cheerful figurine box, its petals reaching out like rays of summer light. This is an Artoria piece, a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France.

Turning Toward the Sun

Sunflowers follow the sun as they grow, which has made them a symbol of loyalty, warmth and optimism. Painted in porcelain, the big blossom brings a field of Provence or Kansas indoors, and the Artoria name places it among the more refined modern Limoges designs. It is the kind of piece that lifts a room on a grey day.

Sunshine for the Sill

Place it on a kitchen windowsill, a sunroom table or a garden-themed shelf where its color can shine.
