Rochard Red Nutcracker Porcelain Limoges Box

Standing at attention in his red coat, the nutcracker soldier has guarded Christmas mantels for well over a century. This Rochard Limoges box captures him in hand-painted porcelain made in Limoges, France, with the box opening at a hinge in the center of the figure.

Guarding the Christmas Mantel

Nutcrackers came out of German woodcarving traditions and became Christmas icons, helped along by the famous ballet. The red uniform makes the figure instantly recognizable, and the porcelain version keeps that toy soldier spirit.

December on Display

Bring it out with the stockings and set it on the mantel, beside the tree or on a hall table among the garland. It makes a festive present for a family that goes to the Nutcracker ballet every year, a young dancer cast in the holiday show, or a collector who adds one nutcracker every season. Teachers, neighbors and hosts of the Christmas Eve dinner will also appreciate finding one under the tree.
