Rochard Irish Teapot Porcelain Limoges Box

Tea time meets Irish charm in this miniature teapot, a porcelain box made to look like a pot rather than one for brewing. Rochard shaped it and painted it by hand in Limoges, France. A cheerful pour for St. Patrick's Day and a fine gift for anyone proud of their Irish roots.

A Cuppa From the Old Country

Ireland drinks more tea per person than almost anywhere in the world, so a teapot is a fitting symbol for an Irish home. Rochard captured that everyday comfort in a small piece decorated with an Irish theme. The decoration is applied by hand, which gives each little pot its own character.

Steeped in Tradition

Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at a very high temperature to give it its bright, glassy white body, and the color is added once that firing is done. This piece sits happily on a china hutch among full size cups and saucers, on a kitchen shelf, or beside a tea caddy on the counter. It is a warm present for a grandmother who keeps the kettle on, a friend who hosts afternoon tea, or a family celebrating their heritage.
