Rochard Round Pink Floral Limoges Box with Ornate Brass
Soft pink porcelain, painted flowers and a band of ornate brass give this small round box an old-world look straight from a French dressing table. It is a Rochard piece, painted by hand in Limoges, France.
A Vanity in Rose
Round boxes like this one are the classic Limoges form, the shape most people picture when they first hear the name. The pink ground and the floral painting keep things soft, while the decorative brass adds a little formality, the way a gilt frame lifts a watercolor.
Echoes of the Salon
Small porcelain boxes became fashionable in 18th-century France, carried in pockets and set on dressing tables to hold snuff, pills or beauty patches. This one follows in that tradition, made from hard-paste porcelain fired at very high heat and then finished by hand.
