Rochard First Tooth Limoges Box in Blue

Soft blue marks this little Rochard Limoges box as a keepsake for a baby boy's first tooth. It was formed in porcelain and brush-painted in Limoges, France, small enough to sit on a dresser beside a favorite baby photo.

That First Little Tooth

A baby's first tooth arrives after weeks of drool, fussing and gnawing on everything in sight, and parents celebrate it as a true milestone. Years later, that tiny tooth becomes a treasured memento of early days. This box gives it a proper home, along with the story of how it came in.

Milestones in Blue

• A Rochard baby keepsake, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• A blue first tooth box for a baby boy
• Fits a baby, nursery or milestone collection

Nursery Shelf to Memory Box

Set it on a nursery dresser or a bookshelf among baby photos and other keepsakes. It makes a thoughtful baby shower present, a first birthday memento or a welcome present from grandparents and godparents. Parents often hold onto it long after the tooth fairy has moved on, and it may one day be passed along when that baby becomes a parent too.

Small porcelain boxes became fashionable in 18th-century France for holding tiny treasures, from snuff to beauty patches, and a first tooth fits right into that tradition.
