Rochard Lily of the Valley Mini Heart Limoges Box
Lily of the valley, the little white bell flower of May, decorates this mini heart from Rochard. It is a petite Limoges box, hand-painted in Limoges, France.
Bells of the First of May
In France, sprigs of lily of the valley, called muguet, are given to friends and family on May 1 for good luck. The tradition is said to date back to the 1500s. Rochard paired the flower with a heart shape, so the piece carries both luck and affection in one small form.
