Rochard Teapot Limoges Box in Pink Toile

Pink toile, a classic French pattern, dresses this teapot shaped Rochard Limoges box. The porcelain was formed and hand-painted in Limoges, France, and it is a teapot meant for display rather than brewing.

A Pattern From Old France

Toile de Jouy was born in 18th-century France, where printed cotton scenes of country life became the height of fashion. Today toile still signals French country charm, and in pink it takes on an especially romantic feel. Putting that pattern on a teapot makes this piece doubly French, and doubly at home in a cozy kitchen.

Tea for Two

• A Rochard design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• A teapot shape decorated in pink toile
• Fits a teapot, toile or French country collection

The Hostess's Hutch

Set it on a hutch shelf among real teacups, on a breakfast room sideboard or on a tea cart ready for guests. It makes a thoughtful hostess thank-you for someone who still serves afternoon tea, a Mother's Day surprise or a bridal tea party favor for the bride. Collectors of teapots and toile will find it fits right in with their favorite patterns.
