Blue and Gold Butterfly Limoges Box by Rochard
Blue and gold give this Rochard butterfly its look, a cool color warmed by a gleam of metallic finish. The butterfly forms the porcelain box itself, decorated by hand in Limoges, France.
Sapphire and Gilt Wings
Blue and gold have been a classic pairing in French decorative arts for centuries, seen on fine dinner services and palace interiors alike. Here that combination lands on a butterfly, giving a garden subject a dressier, more formal feel. The gold catches lamplight beautifully in the evening.
Gleaming Display Spots
A vanity, a curio shelf lined with blue and white china, or a dressing table near the jewelry tray all suit this piece. It is a pretty present for Mother's Day, a birthday, or a garden club friend, and a fitting choice for anyone who decorates in blue and gold. Butterfly collectors often look for variety in color, and this one adds a richer tone to a grouping of pastels.
