Rochard Sleeping Baby Boy Porcelain Limoges Box

Fast asleep and perfectly peaceful, a baby boy rests in this hand-painted porcelain Limoges box. Rochard made it in Limoges, France, as a quiet tribute to those precious early days.

Hush, Little One

Nothing quiets a house like a sleeping baby. Every new parent knows the tiptoe walk past the nursery door and the joy of watching a little one finally drift off. This piece captures that calm moment, a reminder of the first weeks at home when everything else could wait.

Welcoming a Baby Boy

Give it at a baby shower, a christening, a bris or a first visit with the newborn. Parents often place it on a nursery dresser or a bookshelf beside the first photos, then keep it as a memento as the years go by. Grandparents find it a lovely way to mark the arrival of a grandson.

Small Boxes, Old Roots

Little porcelain boxes became fashionable in eighteenth-century France, where they held snuff, pills and beauty patches. Today they mark life's milestones instead.
