Rochard Surfing Santa Porcelain Limoges Box

Santa has swapped his sleigh for a surfboard, and he looks ready to catch a wave on Christmas morning. This Rochard Limoges box was shaped and painted by hand in Limoges, France, mixing beach life and holiday cheer in one playful piece.

Surf's Up at the North Pole

Rochard is known for lighthearted subjects, and a surfing Santa shows that humor well. The board and the jolly figure are both porcelain, painted with the bright, careful brushwork that makes Rochard pieces easy to recognize across a room.

Christmas by the Coast

• A Rochard piece, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Bridges a Santa collection and a beach or surfing theme
• Pairs well with seashell, palm tree and beach cottage pieces

Warm Weather Holidays

For families who spend December in Florida, Hawaii or Southern California, this is the Santa that makes sense. Set him on a beach house mantel, a sunny windowsill or a coastal themed tree table. He suits a surfer, a lifeguard or anyone who would rather spend the holidays in flip flops than snow boots, and he keeps the beach mood going even when the calendar says winter.
