Rochard German Shorthaired Pointer Limoges Box
The German shorthaired pointer, a tireless bird dog with boundless energy, is the breed on this Rochard Limoges box, a porcelain portrait brushed by hand in Limoges, France.
On Point in the Field
Developed in Germany as an all-purpose hunting companion, the GSP can point, retrieve and track with equal skill. Owners know them as athletic, eager and endlessly loyal, happiest when running through a field of tall grass. They have become favorites with upland hunters and active families alike.
A Bird Dog's Devotion

- A German shorthaired pointer in porcelain

Lodge and Gun Room
Set it on a gun cabinet shelf, a lodge den bookcase or a desk beside a photo of your own pointer. It makes a fitting present for an upland hunter, a field trial competitor or a family welcoming a new GSP puppy. It also serves as a gentle remembrance of a faithful bird dog who has passed. Hunters who run a GSP tend to spot this one from across the room.
Porcelain has been made in Limoges since the late 1700s, when fine white kaolin was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, and dog breed pieces like this keep that craft alive.
