Rochard Pink Ballerina Limoges Box, Blond Hair

A blond ballerina in pink, finished with gold shoes, poses with all the poise of a prima on opening night. This Rochard porcelain Limoges box was hand-painted in Limoges, France, capturing the grace of classical dance.

On Pointe in Pink

Ballet began in the royal courts of Renaissance Italy and France, and King Louis XIV himself danced on stage. A pink costume and golden shoes carry that heritage into a piece fit for any dancer.

Curtain Up

Give it to a dancer after a recital, a ballet teacher at the end of the season, or a friend who never misses The Nutcracker each December. It also makes a lovely present for a bride with a dance background or anyone who studied ballet when young. Set it on a vanity, a dresser or a shelf beside recital photos. Collectors often pair the blond and brunette ballerinas for a matching duet.
