Rochard Mini Pink Rosebud Porcelain Limoges Box

Caught just before it unfurls, a single pink rosebud holds all the promise of a June garden. This mini Limoges box by Rochard captures that bud in hand-painted porcelain, made in Limoges, France.

A Bud Waiting for June

A rose in bud has long stood for new love and beginnings, which is why rosebuds turn up in bridal bouquets and on Valentine cards. Pink adds a note of gratitude and gentle affection. Kept small, this piece carries that meaning without asking for much room on a crowded shelf.

Petals for the Floral Shelf

• A Rochard flower piece, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Fits a rose, garden or floral collection
• Groups nicely with tulip, pansy and orchid boxes

A Posy for Someone Dear

Tuck it on a vanity tray, a bedside table or a bookshelf beside a wedding photo. It makes a sweet thank-you for a bridesmaid, a Mother's Day surprise, or an anniversary token for someone who still remembers the first rose they were given. Because it is a mini, it slips easily into a collection that is already running short of space.
