Rochard French Fries Hand-Painted Limoges Box

Hot, salty and impossible to stop eating, French fries rank among the world's favorite snacks. Rochard turns a serving into a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France.

Belgian or French?

Belgium and France both claim to have invented the fried potato stick, and the debate is still lively. American soldiers in World War I may have popularized the name French fries. Whatever their origin, fries go with burgers, steak frites and late-night diner stops alike.

Fast Food, Slow Craft

• A Rochard food piece, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Fits a food, diner or kitchen humor collection
• Pairs well with pizza, donut and baguette boxes

Supersized Smiles

Set it on a kitchen shelf, an office desk or a game room bar for a little dose of fun. It makes a playful present for a restaurant owner, a short-order cook, a college student, or a friend who always steals a few fries off your plate. It also brightens a food themed collection that leans toward the lighter side.

A French Treat Made in France

Porcelain has been produced in Limoges since the late 1700s, after kaolin clay was found nearby. Painters still add every color by hand.
