Rochard Texas Come and Take It Cannon Flag Limoges Box
A cannon, a lone star and the defiant words Come and Take It make up this Rochard Limoges box, honoring one of Texas history's boldest moments. Rochard had it hand-painted in Limoges, France.
Gonzales, 1835
When Mexican troops came to reclaim a small cannon from the settlers of Gonzales, Texas, the townspeople sewed a flag showing that cannon and dared them to come and take it. The skirmish that followed opened the Texas Revolution, and the flag became an enduring symbol of Texan pride.

It makes a proud present for a native Texan, a Texas A and M or UT graduate, a history buff, a veteran, or a friend moving to the Lone Star State. Set it on a study desk, a ranch house mantel or a shelf for Texas Independence Day in March. Displayed beside other Texas flags, it tells the story of the revolution one banner at a time.
Rochard's Texas flag series is popular with collectors across the state, and Come and Take It is one of its most famous pieces.
