Christmas Above Fifth Avenue

New York at the holidays is its own kind of magic, with the tree at Rockefeller Center, skaters in the park and window displays along Fifth Avenue. Putting Santa on the city's most famous tower turns that feeling into one playful scene. Rochard is known for exactly this kind of witty, story driven subject.

Holiday Postcards in Porcelain

Give it to a New Yorker who moved away, a couple who got engaged in the city in December, or a family that makes a holiday trip to see the lights each year. It sits proudly on a mantel with garland, on a hall table beside holiday cards, or in a curio cabinet that changes with the seasons. Collectors of Rochard Santas often look for this one to round out a travel themed group.
