Rochard Red Double Decker London Bus Limoges Box

London's famous double decker bus rolls onto the shelf as this Rochard Limoges box, ready for a sightseeing loop past Big Ben and Piccadilly. It is hand-painted in Limoges, France, and one of the most recognizable symbols of British city life.

Mind the Gap, Hop Aboard

The double decker has carried Londoners and visitors through the streets for generations, and for many travelers the first ride on the upper deck is a highlight of the trip. Rochard has turned that icon into a small porcelain piece, painted by hand so that each one carries its own slight variations.

Cheerio and Welcome Home

This makes a great memento after a trip to London, a farewell present for a coworker moving to the UK, or a birthday surprise for an anglophile who never misses a royal wedding. It also suits a bus enthusiast, a transit worker, or a family with roots in England. Set it on a bookshelf with British novels, beside a teapot on a kitchen shelf, or on a desk next to a framed tube map. It pairs neatly with other London landmarks to build a small British corner on one shelf.
