The first Limoges trinket boxes were long narrow containers that were created for expensive needles. From here, other shapes of limoges porcelain boxes evolved. The earliest were those that held thimbles and embroidery scissors and then round flat Limoges boxes were formed and used as powder boxes, and\/or snuff boxes. Under Louis XIV these small boxes were used to hold a lock of lady's hair or small poem.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eExactly when and who made the first porcelain snuffbox is up for debate. There were faience snuffboxes that were produced sometime around 1730. These cannot be identified by back stamp marks, for none were put on them. There were four big porcelain factories that made snuff boxes around this time, Chantilly porcelain (1725–1800), Saint-Cloud porcelain (1677–1766), Mennecy porcelain (1734–73), and the royal Vincennes porcelain (1740–56), which moved to become Sèvres porcelain (1756–present). Additionally independent makers produced them with no signature or marking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Limoges","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47416299880617,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2622\/5321\/files\/vintage-hand-painted-limouge-needle-boxlimoges-1366696.jpg?v=1788489549","url":"https:\/\/industryvintage.co.nz\/products\/vintage-hand-painted-limouge-needle-box","provider":"Industry Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
