Rochard French Bulldog on Green Porcelain Limoges Box

Famous for bat ears and a flat little face, the French bulldog takes the spotlight here against a green ground. Rochard made this hand-painted porcelain Limoges box in Limoges, France.

Frenchie on the Green

The French bulldog came from lace workers who brought small bulldogs from England to France in the 1800s, and the breed quickly charmed Paris. Today it ranks among the most popular dogs anywhere. Setting the dog against green gives the portrait a fresh, garden-like feel.

Sitting Pretty by the Door

Give it a spot on an entry table near the leash, on a home office desk, or beside a photo of your own Frenchie. It makes a welcome birthday surprise for a Frenchie owner, a thank-you for a dog sitter or groomer, and a kind remembrance for someone still missing a snoring little companion who has passed on.
