Rochard Tennis Racquet Limoges Box in Its Case

A tennis racquet tucked into its case forms this Rochard Limoges box, a porcelain take on the piece of gear every player guards most carefully. It was made in Limoges, France, and painted by hand.

Strung and Ready

Players get attached to their racquets, and a good case shows how seriously they take the game. This piece celebrates that bond with a nod to the court, minus the broken strings. It belongs on the shelf rather than the baseline, but it carries the same spirit as a favorite match day.

Advantage, Collector

• A Rochard design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• A tennis racquet shown with its case
• Suits a tennis, racquet sports or club collection

Courtside Display Ideas

Set it beside trophies and team photos on a club shelf, or on a home office bookcase among sports keepsakes. Paired with Rochard's tennis bag and tennis court boxes, it forms a tidy little set for a devoted player. It makes a fitting present for a club champion, a coach or a friend who watches every Grand Slam final. Even players who own every gadget for the court may not have one of these.

Many Limoges boxes are painted by hand only after the white porcelain has been fired, one reason each piece has its own character.
