Rochard Two Owls Porcelain Limoges Box
Two owls sit side by side, wide eyed and wise, on this hand-painted Rochard porcelain box. It was made in Limoges, France, for anyone who has ever heard a pair of owls calling to each other across the dark woods.
Who, Who Goes There
Owls have stood for wisdom since ancient Athens, where the little owl was the bird of the goddess Athena. A pair of them feels even more meaningful, a nod to partnership and long companionship. The feathers and eyes are painted by hand, so each box carries its own expression.

Wise Choices for Gifting
A pair of owls suits a couple on an anniversary, two friends who have been through it all, or graduates heading off to college together. It also makes a fitting thank-you for a teacher, a librarian or a mentor who helped someone grow wiser. Owl collectors will want it on the shelf with the rest of their parliament, and a birder who keeps a life list might set it on the desk beside a field guide.
