Rochard Nantucket Lighthouse and Boat Limoges Box

A Nantucket lighthouse stands watch over the harbor while a boat sails close by, a quiet island scene captured in porcelain. Rochard made this Limoges box, hand-painted in Limoges, France.

Thirty Miles to Sea

Nantucket lies far out off the coast of Cape Cod, and for generations its lighthouses guided whalers, ferries and fishing boats home. Today the island is a summer favorite, known for gray-shingled cottages, cobblestone streets and long beach walks. Rochard pairs the light with a boat, so the scene tells the story of a safe return.

From the Grey Lady

Islanders call Nantucket the Grey Lady for the fog that rolls in off the water. Give this piece to a friend just back from a summer on the island, a couple married on the beach, or a retired sea captain. It fits a beach house shelf, a sunroom table beside a jar of sea glass, or a study decorated with nautical charts and brass instruments.
