World Globe and Binoculars Rochard Limoges Box
A globe and a pair of binoculars sit ready for the next expedition, whether to the far side of the world or just the far side of the map. Rochard has gathered the explorer's kit into a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, made in Limoges, France.
Around the World in Porcelain
Globe and binoculars are miniatures shaped from porcelain and painted by hand, not working instruments. Together they speak of curiosity, long journeys and the urge to see what lies past the horizon. Rochard's travel line covers landmarks across the world, and this piece captures the spirit of travel itself rather than any one destination.

From Hard Clay to Hand Brush
Small porcelain boxes became fashionable in 18th-century France, when people carried them for snuff, pills and beauty patches. Today a piece like this one suits a world traveler, a geography teacher, a birder with a well-used pair of field glasses, or a graduate setting off on a first big trip. Set it on a desk beside a real globe or on a shelf with souvenirs gathered from many countries.
