Chianti Bottle in Basket Rochard Limoges Box

A Chianti bottle sits snug in its woven basket, with a small wine glass that lifts away to pour an imaginary toast. Rochard made this Tuscan classic as a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box in Limoges, France.

Dinner at the Trattoria

The straw-wrapped fiasco bottle once sat on every checkered tablecloth in every Italian restaurant, often with a candle melted into its neck. It still brings back memories of red sauce, bread baskets and long family dinners. The basket weave and the glass are painted by hand, so each box has small differences in tone.

A Toast to Tuscany

This is a fitting present for a wine club member, a sommelier, an Italian restaurant owner, or a couple back from a trip through Florence and Siena. It also suits a housewarming, a retirement toast or a fortieth anniversary. Set it on a wine rack, a bar cart, or a kitchen shelf beside the olive oil and a cookbook from Nonna.
