Rochard Blue and Gold Heart on Brass Butterfly Stand Limoges Box
A blue and gold heart rests on a brass stand shaped like a butterfly, as though it had just fluttered down to land. Rochard made this porcelain Limoges box and had it painted by hand in Limoges, France.
Where the Butterfly Landed
The brass butterfly stand lifts the heart off the table and gives it the look of a small jewel on display. Blue and gold make a classic pairing, and on a heart they read as both romantic and dignified, never too sweet.

A Heart on a Pedestal
Give it for an anniversary, a Valentine's Day surprise, or an engagement, when a heart on a stand says the right thing without a word. It also makes a lovely thank you for a bridesmaid or a mother of the bride. On a dresser beside a framed wedding photo, it becomes a small reminder of the day itself.
A Craft of Many Hands
Limoges boxes are usually painted after the white porcelain has been fired, and their metal mounts are fitted by hand. A piece like this, with porcelain and brass working together, shows how many steps it takes to finish one small box.
