Lemon Meringue Pie Rochard Limoges Box

A lemon meringue pie sits ready to slice, its sunny filling crowned with fluffy peaks. Rochard made this diner classic as a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box in Limoges, France.

A Slice of Sunshine

Lemon meringue has graced Sunday dinner tables and diner pie cases for well over a century. The tart filling and the sweet, toasted topping make it the pie people remember from a grandmother's kitchen. Rochard paints the crust and filling by hand, so each pie has its own warm tones.

For the Baker of the Family

Give it to the relative whose pie disappears first at every holiday, a county fair blue ribbon winner, a pastry chef, or a diner owner. It also makes a cheerful thank-you for a friend who brought dinner after a hard week, or a birthday present for anyone who would take pie over cake. Set it on a kitchen windowsill, a hutch with dessert plates, or a bakery counter.
