Rochard Book and Reading Glasses Limoges Box

A book lies closed with a pair of reading glasses resting nearby, as if its reader stepped away to put the kettle on. Rochard captured that quiet scene as a porcelain Limoges box, every detail brushed on by hand in Limoges, France.

Lost in a Good Chapter

Anyone who reads in bed or curls up with a novel on a Sunday afternoon will recognize this pairing at once. The book forms the box, and the glasses complete the picture of someone deep in a story. It is a gentle, thoughtful subject, the kind of piece that feels personal without a single word on it.

For the Bookish Crowd

• A Rochard book with reading glasses
• Porcelain finished by hand at a Limoges workshop
• Joins library, writing desk and literary themed pieces

Between the Bookends

A nightstand beside the current read, a library shelf between hardcovers or a writer's desk are all natural spots. It makes a fitting thank you for a teacher, a librarian or a book club host, and a lovely retirement present for an English professor or an editor. Readers who keep a stack of books on every surface tend to treasure it, since it is one book that never needs returning to the library.
