Rochard Snowman Limoges Box, Red Hat and Broom

Bundled up in a red hat and holding his trusty broom, this snowman looks ready to sweep the front walk after the first big storm. Rochard made him as a Limoges box, painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Built After the First Snowfall

Every winter someone rolls three snowballs, stacks them up, and hunts for a hat and a broom to finish the job. Rochard captured that backyard tradition in porcelain. The red hat gives the white figure a cheerful pop of color, and every stroke is done by hand.

Frosty Friends

• A Rochard winter design from Limoges, France
• Joins snowman, Christmas and winter wonderland groupings
• Pairs well with ski, nutcracker and Santa pieces

A Snowman Who Never Melts

Unlike his backyard cousins, this one lasts from December straight through to the spring thaw. Set him on a mantel, a windowsill facing the snow, or an entry table beside the mittens basket. He makes a cheerful Secret Santa present, a teacher's holiday thank-you, or a winter birthday surprise for someone who loves cold mornings. Snowman collectors often add one each year and line them up like a little winter village.
