Rochard Shakespeare Book Stack Limoges Box with Inkwell

A stack of Shakespeare's books shares this Rochard Limoges box with an inkwell, and the feather pen beside them is made of brass. The porcelain was crafted and painted by hand in Limoges, France.

To Write or Not to Write

More than four centuries after he put quill to paper, William Shakespeare still fills theaters and classrooms around the world. His plays and sonnets gave the English language countless phrases we still use every day. This piece honors the Bard with a nod to the tools of his trade, the inkwell and feather that set those words down.

All the World's a Shelf

• A Rochard design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Stacked Shakespeare books with an inkwell and brass feather
• Fits a book, writing or theater collection

For the Well Read

Set it on a library shelf, a writer's desk or an English teacher's bookcase among well worn volumes. It makes a fitting present for a writer, an actor, a book club host or a lifelong reader graduating with a literature degree. Visitors back from Stratford-upon-Avon or a Shakespeare festival will treasure it too. Keep the brass feather with the books, since it completes the scene.
