Round Rochard Limoges Box with Pink and Gold Flowers

Soft pink blossoms and touches of gold dress this round Limoges trinket box from Rochard. It is a traditional porcelain shape, painted by hand in Limoges, France.

A Garden in the Round

The round box is one of the oldest forms in Limoges porcelain, and it remains a favorite because it lets the decoration take center stage. Here pink flowers and gold accents give the piece a gentle, classic look that suits both a formal room and a cozy bedroom.

Blooms Worth Gathering

• A Rochard design, hand-painted in Limoges, France

Vanity Table Grace

Place it on a dresser, a vanity tray or a bedside table where the pink and gold can catch the light. It is a lovely choice for Mother's Day, a birthday, a bridesmaid thank-you, or a sweet sixteen. Many collectors keep a cluster of round boxes in varied colors, and this one adds a warm, soft note.

From Snuff to Sentiment

Small porcelain boxes became fashionable in 18th-century France, when they held snuff, pills and the tiny beauty patches worn at court. Today they hold memories more than anything else.
