Rochard Crab in a Cooking Pot Porcelain Limoges Box
A crab has landed in the cooking pot, ready for a seaside feast, in this hand-painted porcelain Limoges box. Rochard made it in Limoges, France, with a nod to every summer crab boil and dockside dinner.
Catch of the Day
From Maryland blue crabs to Dungeness on the Pacific coast, steaming crabs in a big pot is a beloved coastal ritual. Newspaper spread on the table, mallets at the ready and a crowd of friends gathered around: this piece captures the spirit of that messy, happy meal without any of the cleanup.
From Trap to Table
- A Rochard seafood piece, painted by hand in Limoges, France

Seaside Kitchen Shelf
Set it on a beach house kitchen shelf, a cottage windowsill or a sideboard near the seafood platters. It makes a fun present for a crab boil host, a fishing boat captain, a chef who specializes in seafood, or a friend who counts the days until crab season opens each year. Anyone with family on the Chesapeake will love it.
