LIMOGES PORCELAIN - Sleeping Beauty (Medium)

Color: White  Size: 4.5"W x 2.3"H x 3.3"D (12.8 oz.) Material: Limoges Porcelain   The porcelain used in our pottery comes from top European Suppliers. It is ecological and sustainable with no lead content.  Porcelain object inspired by the classic European fairy tale, the story of the beautiful princess who fell asleep for 100 years.  The tale, which was written down by the French writer Charles Perrault in 1697 and by the German fairy tale complier Grimm Brothers in 1812, was previously compiled by the Italian poet Giambattista Basile as the moon, sun, and Talia, and was included in the book published after the Poet's death in 1634.  There are many versions of the tale, but in the most popular one the handsome price wakes the cursed princess with a kiss.  In our version, the sleeping beauty is quite happy in her sleep, buried in her soft pillow, having beautiful dreams.  It's like she doesn't need a kiss to wake her up. All our products are  handcrafted using Limoges porcelain clay with both inner and outer surfaces glazed and fired at high temperatures making them safe for both food and drink.   For pieces decorated with 24K gold glaze, we recommend that you wash them with a soft sponge in order to preserve the glaze's shine/luster and extend the life of your unique piece. Please note that all of our porcelain pieces are handmade by our artisans so their shape and color may differ slightly from the one pictured.  Slight imperfections are not to be considered defects,  but add to the value and unique character of each distinctive piece.
