Hot Chocolate Cup and Saucer Limoges Box by Rochard

A cup of hot chocolate on its matching saucer captures the coziest moment of a winter afternoon. Rochard shaped this miniature as a porcelain box rather than a cup for drinking, and painted it by hand in Limoges, France.

Warm Hands, Warm Heart

Hot chocolate has been a French favorite since the 1600s, when it arrived at the royal court and quickly became fashionable in Parisian salons. Rochard captures that comfort in a small cup and saucer. The painting is done by hand, which gives each cup its own small variations.

A Cocoa Corner

• Pairs well with teapot, snowman and mitten boxes

Snow Day Setting

Set it on a kitchen shelf, a coffee station, or a china hutch among real cups and saucers. It makes a cozy present for a friend who hosts the neighborhood cocoa night, a chocolatier, a teacher at winter break, or anyone who counts a steaming mug as one of life's simple pleasures. It looks especially right from the first snowfall through Valentine's Day, though cocoa fans keep it out all year.
