Yellow Basket Rochard Limoges Box with Three Perfume Bottles

Sunny yellow and woven by the brush, this Rochard basket box opens to reveal three tiny perfume bottles inside. The weave and color are hand-painted on porcelain in Limoges, France.

Three Bottles in a Basket

Perfume boxes are a Limoges specialty, and the basket version is among the most appealing. The outside looks like a little market basket, while the inside holds a trio of miniature bottles, so the piece works as two small treasures in one. Every weave line is painted by hand, so no two baskets come out exactly alike.

A Dressing Table Ritual

France and fragrance go together, and a perfume box nods to that long tradition. Set this one on a dressing table, a bathroom niche or a vanity tray, where its bright yellow lifts the whole corner. The bottles inside make a nice talking point when friends visit.

Scented Occasions

• A Rochard design from the perfume group
• Fits a perfume, vanity or yellow themed collection
• A sweet present for a bride, a bridesmaid or a Mother's Day morning

Collectors often look for the matching pink and blue baskets in the same family. This yellow version, with three bottles, is the fuller of the set.
