Rochard Rome Trevi Fountain Porcelain Limoges Box
Toss a coin over your shoulder and you are promised a return to Rome, or so the legend of the Trevi Fountain goes. This hand-painted porcelain Limoges box by Rochard brings the famous Baroque fountain home, made in Limoges, France.
Three Coins and a Wish
Finished in 1762, the Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome, with Oceanus at its center and carved horses rising from the water. Visitors toss thousands of coins into its basin every day, and the money is gathered for charity. Few landmarks are as tied to the hope of coming back.
