Rochard Goliad Texas Flag Porcelain Limoges Box

The Goliad flag of early Texas history is the subject of this Rochard Limoges box, a salute to the settlers who declared their independence in 1835. Rochard had it hand-painted in Limoges, France.

Remember Goliad

In December 1835, citizens gathered at Goliad signed one of the first declarations of Texas independence and raised a flag to mark it. The town's name later became a rallying cry of the revolution alongside the Alamo. This box keeps that chapter of Texas history close at hand.

For the Proud Texan

Set it on a study desk, a bookshelf with Texas history books, or a mantel for Texas Independence Day. It makes a fine present for a native of Goliad County, a member of a heritage society, a history teacher, or a friend proud of their Texas roots. Collectors of Rochard's Texas flags often build a full set, and the Goliad flag is an important piece in that lineup.

A French Craft for a Texas Story

Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat, and many pieces are still painted by hand after firing. It is a sturdy, lasting way to honor a lasting piece of history.
