Hand-Painted Soccer Ball Limoges Box by Rochard

A soccer ball, patched and ready for kickoff, rolls onto the shelf as a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box. Rochard made it in Limoges, France, for players and fans who call the sport the beautiful game.

Kickoff in Porcelain

Few objects are as instantly recognized around the world as a soccer ball. The classic panel pattern is painted by hand here, so each box shows small variations in line and shade. It is simple, round and bold, which makes it easy to spot on a crowded trophy shelf.

Back of the Net

Give it to a striker after a first goal, a keeper after a clean sheet, or a coach at the season banquet. It also suits a club volunteer, a referee, a college signing day or a World Cup watch party host. Fans of a favorite club can set it beside a team scarf on a bookshelf, and former players often keep one on the office desk as a reminder of Saturday mornings on the pitch.
