Rochard Pineapple Limoges Box with Slice

A pineapple with a slice beside it makes a sunny tropical still life in porcelain. This fruit piece is a Rochard Limoges box, made and colored by hand in Limoges, France.

A Symbol of Welcome

In colonial America, a pineapple on the table meant the host had gone to great lengths for guests, and it became a lasting symbol of hospitality. To this day pineapples appear carved on doorways and gateposts as a sign of welcome.

Hospitality on the Shelf

That history makes this box a natural housewarming present, a thank you for a gracious host, or a welcome for new neighbors. It also brings a breath of the islands for anyone home from Hawaii or the Caribbean.

Set it in a foyer to greet guests, on a kitchen counter beside a fruit bowl, or on a guest room nightstand to make visitors feel at home. Paired with the Rochard palm tree boxes, it adds a sweet note to a tropical shelf.
