Praying Blond Girl Rochard Limoges Box

A small girl with golden blond hair is caught in the hush of a bedtime or Sunday prayer. She is a Rochard Limoges box, hand-painted on hard-paste porcelain in Limoges, France.

A Moment of Grace

The whole figure forms the box, so the praying girl is both the subject and the shape. Nothing about her pose is busy or showy. The charm is in the quiet: a simple, devout moment turned into porcelain and painted by hand.

A Quiet Corner of Faith

• A Rochard design, painted by hand in Limoges, France
• Belongs with Easter, First Communion and other Christian pieces
• Sits gently beside angel, cross or Nativity boxes

Little Prayers on the Nightstand

Set her on a nightstand, a prayer table or a bedroom shelf where she can be seen first thing in the morning. She makes a meaningful present for a baptism, a confirmation, a First Communion or Easter morning, and a kind remembrance for a goddaughter or a grandmother who keeps her faith close.

Because each Rochard box is finished with a brush rather than a decal, the soft color of her blond hair varies slightly from one piece to the next, which gives every praying girl a character of her own on the shelf.
