Rochard Easter Egg Limoges Box with Bow and Rabbit

Tied with a pretty bow and topped by a little bunny, this Easter egg looks ready for the best basket in the house. The egg is a Rochard Limoges box, porcelain that was hand-painted in Limoges, France.

Some Bunny Special

The egg forms the box, with a bow and a bunny adding the festive touches. Egg-shaped boxes are among the most classic of all Limoges forms, and adding a rabbit turns this one into a true Easter piece. Rochard's Easter line has many eggs, and this bunny-topped version is among the most charming.

Basket Ready

• A Rochard Easter egg, painted by hand in Limoges

Painted After the Fire

Many Limoges boxes are painted by hand only after the white porcelain has been fired, and their metal mounts are fitted by hand as well. Set this egg in an Easter basket, at the center of a brunch table, or on a spring mantel with pastel flowers. It makes a sweet Easter present for a grandmother, a godmother or a friend who collects eggs of every kind.
