Rochard Donut Limoges Box, Donut Hole Lifts Out

Fresh from the bakery case, this donut comes with a bonus: the donut hole lifts right out. Rochard shaped the treat as a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, made in Limoges, France.

Hole in One

Donuts have been a morning favorite in America since the 1800s, and legend credits a New England sea captain with punching out the center to help them cook evenly. Those little centers became a treat of their own. This piece pays tribute to both halves of the story, a nod to coffee breaks and Saturday morning bakery runs.

The Bakery Dozen

• A Rochard dessert piece, painted by hand in Limoges, France
• Comes with a donut hole that lifts out
• Pairs well with macaron, gummy bear and French fries boxes

Coffee Break Companion

Set it beside the coffee maker, on an office desk or on a kitchen shelf next to the cookie jar. It makes a fun present for a baker, a coffee shop owner, a police officer with a sense of humor, or anyone who never says no to a fresh glazed donut. National Donut Day in June is a perfect excuse to give it.
