Rochard Snowman Figure Limoges Box

A classic snowman stands bundled for the cold, the kind of figure that appears in every front yard after the first good snowfall. Rochard made this winter friend as a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box in Limoges, France.

Built After the First Snowfall

Rolling the snowballs, finding the right stones, borrowing a scarf from the closet: building a snowman is one of the oldest winter traditions there is. This piece captures the finished result, standing proud and a little lopsided in spirit. The painters add the face and winter details by hand on each one.

Frosty Friends Gathering

• A Rochard piece, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Joins snowman teapot, sled and mitten subjects
• Belongs in a snowman, winter or Christmas collection

December Through February

Unlike Santa pieces, a snowman can stay out long after the tree comes down, all the way through the winter months. Put it on a mantel, a frosty windowsill or an entry table beside a bowl of pinecones. It makes a cheerful present for a snowman collector, a ski house host, a friend in a snowy state or a teacher on the last day before winter break.
