Rochard Lobster Pot Porcelain Limoges Box

A lobster pot, fit for a summer seafood boil, is the subject of this small porcelain box. It is a miniature for display rather than a pot for the stove, shaped and hand-painted by Rochard in Limoges, France.

Boiling Over With Charm

Few meals feel as festive as a table spread with newspaper, melted butter and a pot of fresh lobsters. Rochard captures that coastal feast in porcelain, with every detail brushed on by hand so each box has its own small differences once it comes out of the kiln.

Shore Dinner Pairings

• A Rochard seafood design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Fits a seafood, coastal kitchen or nautical grouping
• Pairs well with the Rochard lobster trap, crab and clam boxes

Hand Finished in France

Limoges boxes like this one are painted after the white porcelain has been fired, and their small metal mounts are fitted by hand. Set it on a beach house kitchen shelf, a breakfront in a seaside cottage, or a windowsill overlooking the water. It makes a lighthearted thank-you for the host of a summer lobster bake, a souvenir of a trip to Maine, or a present for a chef who loves cooking from the sea.
