Rochard Chinese Lantern Hand-Painted Porcelain Limoges Box

Glowing lanterns light up streets and temples across China during the New Year festivities, and this piece honors that tradition. Rochard made the Chinese lantern as a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box in Limoges, France.

Light of the Lantern Festival

The Lantern Festival closes the Lunar New Year celebrations on the fifteenth day of the first month, when families hang lanterns, solve riddles written on them and share sweet rice dumplings. Lanterns stand for good fortune and a bright year ahead, which makes them a cheerful symbol for any home.
