Rochard Pair of Cherries Limoges Box Figurine with Brass Stems
Two cherries hang together on this small Rochard Limoges box, joined by stems made of brass rather than porcelain. The fruit itself was shaped and painted by hand in Limoges, France.
Life Is a Bowl of Cherries
The old saying promises that life is sweet, and few fruits capture that cheerful idea like a pair of cherries. They have long appeared on kitchen tablecloths, vintage aprons and diner signs as a symbol of simple pleasures. Here the brass stems add a bright metal accent that sets the pair apart from an ordinary fruit piece.

Sweet Spots in the Kitchen
Set it on a breakfast nook shelf, a kitchen windowsill or a country hutch dressed with a cherry print cloth. It also makes a playful surprise tucked into a real fruit bowl. Since cherries so often come in twos, it suits a Valentine's Day present for a sweetheart, or an anniversary nod to a couple who have always been a pair. Bakers famous for their cherry pie will appreciate it too.
Many Limoges boxes pair hand-painted porcelain with metal details fitted by hand, and these brass stems show that tradition well.
