Rochard Travel Suitcase Limoges Box Painted with Maps
Maps cover this little suitcase, as if it has already been everywhere and is packed for the next trip. Rochard made this Limoges box in porcelain and painted it by hand in Limoges, France.
Packed for Parts Unknown
A suitcase is a promise of adventure, and maps are the dream that comes before the plane ticket. Together they make this a small salute to every journey taken and every journey still on the list. Seasoned travelers will recognize the feeling of a well loved bag that has seen many miles.

A Send-Off Worth Keeping
Give it to mark a retirement trip, a graduation journey, a semester abroad or a move to a new country. It also suits a travel agent or tour guide as a thank-you. At home, set it beside a globe in a study, on a shelf with souvenirs from past trips, or among Rochard landmark boxes as the piece that ties the collection together.
The craft behind it reaches back to 1768, when fine white kaolin clay was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche and Limoges set out on its long porcelain journey.
