Fortune Cookie Porcelain Limoges Box by Rochard
Crack open a fortune cookie and you never quite know what the slip of paper will say, which is half the fun of this porcelain version. Rochard shaped this Limoges box as the folded cookie and hand-painted it in Limoges, France.
Your Lucky Numbers Are
The fortune cookie is a small ritual at the end of a meal, passed around the table so everyone can read their luck aloud. Turning it into porcelain keeps that moment around a little longer. The lid lifts away, leaving room inside for a handwritten fortune of your own.
Good Fortune Pairings

A Message Tucked Inside
Write a short note, fold it small and slip it in before you hand it over. It works for a new job, a first apartment, a graduation or an engagement, when a wish for good luck feels just right. Some people use it to announce happy news, letting the recipient find the message for themselves. Once it has done its work, it sits nicely on a kitchen windowsill or a desk, ready for the next fortune.
A Kiln Fired Tradition
Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat, which gives these little boxes their bright, smooth white body before the painters begin.
