I Love New York Big Apple Rochard Limoges Box with Taxi

A big apple marked I Love New York comes with a small taxi that lifts right off, a quick ride through Manhattan in porcelain. Rochard made it as a hand-painted Limoges box in Limoges, France.

A Bite of the Big Apple

New York has called itself the Big Apple since jazz musicians and sportswriters popularized the name early in the last century. The apple and the cab together say the city in two quick symbols. Rochard paints the lettering and the little taxi by hand, so each box carries its own small variations.

Hail a Cab on Fifth Avenue

Bring it home after a Broadway weekend, give it to a friend moving to the city, or send it to a New Yorker who moved away and misses the bagels. It also suits a marathon finisher, a first trip to see the tree at Rockefeller Center, or a couple who got engaged in Central Park. A desk, an entry table or a shelf with travel photos makes a fine spot.

The City Shelf

• A Rochard piece, hand-painted in Limoges, France
