Rochard Mortarboard Graduation Cap Limoges Box
The classic mortarboard, tossed high at every commencement, becomes a proud porcelain box in this graduation piece. Rochard made the cap in Limoges, France, and painted it by hand.
Caps in the Air
The square academic cap has crowned graduates for centuries, and the moment they fly skyward is one of the happiest of any ceremony. Rochard turned that moment into a keepsake that will not be lost in the crowd. Each cap is brushed by hand, so small variations from piece to piece are expected.
Tassel Worthy Pairings

Made in the Porcelain Capital
Small porcelain boxes became the fashion in 18th-century France for holding snuff, pills and beauty patches, and they still mark big moments today. Present this one at commencement, a graduation party, or a celebratory dinner for a new nurse, lawyer, teacher or engineer. Afterward it can sit on a desk or a bookshelf beside the framed diploma, a daily reminder that the hard work paid off.
