Hula Dancer Limoges Box with Lift Off Lei by Rochard

A Hawaiian hula dancer, a picture of island hospitality, forms this porcelain box, and the lei around her neck is a separate piece that lifts away. Rochard modeled and hand-painted her in Limoges, France, bringing a little island warmth to a French workshop classic.

Aloha in Porcelain

The hula is a storytelling dance, and this figure honors the dancers who keep those stories alive. Rochard gave her the lei as its own small part, so she can be shown wearing it or with the garland set beside her. The colors are brushed on by hand, which means each dancer has her own slight variations.

Luau Season All Year

Set her on a bookshelf near vacation photos, on a dresser, or in a curio cabinet with other dance and travel pieces. She makes a warm welcome-home present after a trip to Maui or Oahu, a fun nod for a honeymoon couple who went to the islands, and a fitting thank-you for a dance teacher. Keep the lei with her so the set stays complete through the years.
