Small Oval Rochard Limoges Box, Light Purple with Gold Dots
Light purple and flecked with gold, this small oval is the kind of box that slips easily into any grouping and quietly holds its own. Rochard paints it by hand in Limoges, France, as part of a porcelain series that shares the same gold dot pattern.
Oval in Orchid Tones
The oval is one of the most traditional Limoges outlines, smooth and balanced, and the pale purple ground keeps it fresh. Scattered gold dots give it a little sparkle. Because the painting is done by hand, no two dot patterns line up exactly the same way.

Little Spots That Need Color
Because of its small size, it fits places larger boxes cannot: a jewelry dish, a narrow windowsill, the corner of a writing desk, or the front row of a crowded curio. It works as a thank-you for a hostess who decorates in soft colors, an Easter basket addition for an adult, or a birthday token for a friend born in February, when purple flowers and amethysts are in season.
Start with this oval and the rest of the purple series follows naturally.
