Red Double Decker London Bus Rochard Limoges Box

London's red double decker bus rolls onto the shelf, and a tiny removable ticket comes along for the ride. This Rochard porcelain Limoges box was shaped and hand-painted in Limoges, France.

All Aboard the Top Deck

Few sights say London as quickly as a red bus swinging around Piccadilly Circus. Riders still race up the narrow stairs for the front seat on the top deck, and Rochard captures that famous silhouette in porcelain. The little ticket that lifts out is a playful nod to fares once punched by a conductor.

Fares Please, Collectors

• A Rochard vehicle and travel design from Limoges
• Joins Big Ben, Tower Bridge and royal guard pieces
• Fits a London, British or transport collection

Next Stop, the Bookshelf

Present it to a traveler just back from England, a student returning from a term abroad, or a friend with family across the Atlantic. Model bus and train enthusiasts appreciate it too.

Park it on a study shelf beside a London guidebook, in a curio cabinet with other world landmarks, or on a desk where it can remind its owner of rainy afternoons and cream teas. Parked beside the Big Ben box, it sets a small London street scene on the shelf.
