Rochard Basket of Seafood Porcelain Limoges Box

A basket of seafood, fresh off the boats at the harbor, is the subject of this Rochard piece. It is a Rochard Limoges box whose porcelain basket and catch were brushed with color in a Limoges, France workshop.

Catch of the Day

From the fish markets of Marseille to the docks of New England, a basket of fresh seafood is a promise of a good meal ahead. Rochard brings that coastal abundance to porcelain. Each piece is painted by hand, so the colors of the basket and its catch vary a little from box to box.

For the Fisherman and the Cook

Give it to a fisherman who never misses opening day, a cook famous for bouillabaisse or a clam bake, or a friend with a summer cottage by the shore. It also makes a fun housewarming present for a beach house kitchen. Set it on an open kitchen shelf, a dining room sideboard, or a windowsill with a view of the water. Seafood fans and coastal collectors will find it a natural fit beside the Rochard oyster plate.
