Iridescent Eiffel Tower Rochard Limoges Box

Paris at dusk, when the Eiffel Tower seems to shimmer against the sky, is captured in this iridescent piece. The tower is a Rochard Limoges box, porcelain shaped and hand-painted in Limoges, France.

City of Light

The iridescent finish gives the tower a soft, pearly glow that changes as you move around it. Since 1889 the iron lattice tower has been the symbol of Paris, and miniature versions remain among the most popular French souvenirs. This one is porcelain, not iron, and the glow sets it apart from plainer tower boxes.

Bon Voyage and Beyond

Give it to a couple who honeymooned in Paris, a student heading to France for a semester, a French language teacher, or a friend who has always dreamed of the trip. It shines on a vanity, a nightstand near a lamp, or a cabinet where light can catch the finish. For many, it is a small promise of a journey still to come.
