Limoges?

Does anyone collect these? They are the pretty different shaped china boxes that open. Know what I mean?

If so, you may want to visit www.thebrassmonkey.com. I was in there store yesterday and boy do they have a collection. They have the real things. They are hand-painted and gorgeous. I didn't buy a darn thing.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone collects them.

Dots,
I tried the site but couldn't get it to work. I even left off the "period" at the end but it still wouldn't work. Help?

I couldn't get it either. But I do have a special collection of these. Lenox makes Disney ones. I started collecting the Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs one a few years ago and have just completed the set. I have Snow and the Prince, all the dwarfs, the Hag and the Evil Queen. I also have one of Mickey and one of Minnie. The first ones I bought opened up and you got a gold plated charm of the character. You could make a bracelet of them later. But, the latest ones no longer come with the charm.

I also have a few othe limoge boxes that do not have to do with Disney. So, I guess I do collect them.

Hmmm, not sure what's going on. That is the address on the card they gave me at the store. Sorry about that ladies. Maybe the site is temporarily down.

I have two that open. One is a guitar case with a little guitar inside and the other is a globe with a miniature bar inside and tiny little martini glasses. I bought them in the village of Eze at Monte Carlo.

I bought my FIL a few over the years. Don't know who they will be passed down to.

That sounds so cool with the martini glasses inside.
