Fisherman Boots and Creel Rochard Limoges Box

After a long morning on the river, a pair of fisherman's boots rests on the creel, waiting for the next cast. Rochard modeled the moment in porcelain and had it hand-painted as a Limoges box in Limoges, France.

Wading In

Boots and creel are porcelain miniatures here, not rubber and wicker, sculpted together and painted by hand. Every angler knows the feeling of pulling off wet boots at the end of a good day, tired and happy. Rochard's sport line includes several fishing pieces, and this one focuses on the gear that gets the angler to the water.

Cabin Mantel Ready

Set it on a fishing lodge mantel, a den shelf near a mounted catch, or an office desk where a weekend on the water is never far from mind. It suits a fly fisher, a trout stream regular, a fishing guide, or a grandfather who taught the whole family to wade into a river. It makes a good Father's Day or retirement remembrance.
