Rochard Baby in a Playpen Porcelain Limoges Box

A baby happily settled in a playpen is the sweet subject of this Rochard piece, a scene every young family will recognize. It is a Rochard Limoges box, its porcelain playpen and baby colored by hand in Limoges, France.

Safe and Sound

The playpen is where so many first moments happen: first attempts to stand, first giggles at a favorite toy, first naps in the afternoon sun. Rochard captures that cozy little world in porcelain. Each piece is painted by hand, so the details vary gently from one to another.

For New Arrivals

This makes a lasting present for a baby shower, a christening, a first birthday or a visit to meet a new grandchild. Godparents and grandparents often choose it as a keepsake that will stay on a shelf long after the playpen is packed away. Set it on a nursery dresser beside a framed ultrasound or newborn photo, in a curio cabinet with other Rochard baby pieces, or on a parent's nightstand. Years later, it is a sweet reminder of those first busy months.
