Rochard Teacup with Lemon Porcelain Limoges Box

A cup of tea with lemon sits ready for the afternoon pause, the kind of small comfort that makes a busy day feel slower. It is a Rochard porcelain Limoges box, finished by hand with paint and brush in Limoges, France.

Four O'Clock Ritual

Tea with lemon is the choice of those who like their cup bright and clean, and it has been served in parlors and cafes for generations. Fittingly, Limoges is famous for the fine porcelain cups people drink it from, and this little piece pays tribute to both traditions at once.

Steeped in Hospitality

Set it on a tea tray, in a china cabinet beside real cups and saucers, or on a kitchen shelf near the kettle. It makes a gentle thank you for a friend who always puts the kettle on when you visit, a host of a bridal tea, or a tea room owner. Book clubs that meet over Earl Grey and scones will find it a fitting centerpiece. It also suits a get-well note, paired with a box of favorite tea for a friend who is resting at home.
