Croissant and Butter Knife Rochard Limoges Box
A croissant sits ready for breakfast, and a small butter knife lifts away from its side. Rochard made this French bakery classic as a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box in Limoges, France, the country that perfected it.
Breakfast in a Paris Cafe
Picture a sidewalk table, a cafe creme, and a flaky croissant that leaves crumbs everywhere. This piece captures that slow French morning. The layers of the pastry and the little knife are painted by hand, so each box has its own warm shading.
Baker's Dozen Present
Give it to a pastry chef, a bakery owner on opening day, a friend who just took a French baking class, or a couple back from a Paris honeymoon. It also suits a brunch host, a French teacher, or anyone who believes breakfast is the best meal of the day. Set it on a kitchen windowsill, a breakfast nook shelf or a coffee bar beside the espresso cups.
