The Princess Maybe Cinderella Rochard Limoges Box

Rochard gave this princess a playful title, The Princess Maybe Cinderella, leaving her story open to the imagination. She is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, made in Limoges, France.

Before the Clock Strikes Twelve

Is she Cinderella on her way to the ball, or another storybook princess altogether? The name invites you to decide. Fairy tale subjects are among Rochard's most charming, and this one is painted by hand with the care that a royal figure deserves.

Once Upon a Shelf

She belongs among glass slippers, pumpkin coaches and castle towers, in a collection built around the stories that start with once upon a time. On a vanity or a bedroom shelf she adds a bit of magic to an ordinary day. Grown women who once dreamed of glass slippers often smile at her the same way they did years ago, and she makes a gentle nod to a favorite bedtime story read aloud years ago. Mothers sometimes give her to a daughter heading off to college, as a reminder that the happy ending is still being written.
