Caring for Your Box

Keeping your Limoges box beautiful

Hand-painted porcelain lasts for generations with a little care.

  • Dust gently with a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth.
  • Clean carefully: if needed, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry right away. Never put a Limoges box in water or a dishwasher.
  • Avoid chemicals: polishes and cleaners can dull the painted decoration and the brass mounts.
  • Open with care: lift the lid by its edge and support the base; don't force the clasp.
  • Display out of strong sun and away from shelf edges, curious pets and small hands.
  • Keep the gift box: it's the safest way to store or move your piece.
