Fennel Bulb Rochard Limoges Box
Pale layered bulb, feathery green fronds: a fennel turns into porcelain in this unusual Rochard vegetable box. It is shaped and hand-painted in Limoges, France, and it brings the market stall straight to the shelf.
Straight From the Market Stall
Fennel shows up in Provençal cooking and Mediterranean markets, and it is not a vegetable most makers think to sculpt. Rochard gives it real character, with the rounded bulb forming the box and the fronds adding a soft green finish. Each piece is painted by hand, so the shading on the bulb varies slightly.

Kitchen Windowsill Company
A fennel box is a clever present for a chef, a cooking class teacher or a gardener who grows their own herbs. It also suits a culinary student finishing school or a friend just back from Provence. Set it on a kitchen windowsill, a china cabinet shelf or beside a row of cookbooks.
The specific subject is what makes it fun: anyone who knows fennel will smile when they spot it among the fruit and flowers.
