Rochard Humpty Dumpty in a French Hat Limoges Box

Humpty Dumpty sits up on his wall with a jaunty French hat perched on his head, looking far too pleased with himself to worry about falling. Rochard shaped him as a porcelain Limoges box, and Limoges painters added his colors by hand.

A Rhyme With a Beret

The nursery rhyme egg who had a great fall has been recited for more than two centuries, and Rochard gives him a stylish Parisian twist. The French hat turns a familiar English character into a playful nod to the country where his porcelain home was made.

All the King's Horses

• Joins Little Red Riding Hood and storybook subjects
• Fits a nursery rhyme, egg or fairy tale collection

Story Time Shelf

Set him on a bookshelf with old Mother Goose volumes, on a nursery dresser among storybook prints, or on a desk where a little humor is welcome. He makes a fun present for a new grandparent, a reading specialist, or a francophile who loves a good visual pun. Egg collectors will enjoy him as a character piece among their more traditional shapes. Teachers who recite rhymes every morning will appreciate him too, and he never needs to be put back together again.
