Rochard Irish Leprechaun Hand-Painted Limoges Box

Catch a leprechaun, the old stories say, and he must lead you to his pot of gold. This Irish leprechaun is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box by Rochard, made in Limoges, France.

Gold at the End of the Rainbow

In Irish folklore the leprechaun is a solitary cobbler of the fairy folk, clever, mischievous and always guarding his treasure. He has become the cheerful face of Saint Patrick's Day parades from Dublin to Boston and Chicago. This piece brings a little of that Irish luck home.

Mid-March and Beyond

Bring it out each March and set it on a mantel, an entry table or a kitchen shelf beside the Irish soda bread. It makes a fun present for anyone proud of Irish roots, a good luck token before a big exam or new venture, or a souvenir of a trip to the Emerald Isle.
