Rochard Easter Egg with Colorful Bow Limoges Box

An Easter egg wrapped with a colorful bow looks ready to be tucked into a basket on Sunday morning. Rochard made this egg as a porcelain Limoges box, painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Tied Up for Easter

Decorated eggs have stood for spring and new beginnings for centuries, from simple dyed eggs to the jeweled creations of the Russian court. The egg shape is also one of the most traditional forms in Limoges porcelain, and this one adds a bright painted bow for a festive touch.

Basket and Bonnet

• A Rochard egg, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Finished with a colorful painted bow
• Fits an Easter, egg or springtime collection

Sunday Morning Display

Set it in the center of the Easter brunch table, nestle it among dyed eggs in a real basket, or place it on a windowsill with a vase of daffodils. It makes a sweet Easter present for a godchild's parents, a grandmother who hosts the family egg hunt, or a friend celebrating a spring birthday. Egg collectors often add one new design each year, and this cheerful bow makes a fine choice for that tradition.
