Rochard Lucky Shamrock Round Limoges Box
A lucky shamrock decorates this round Rochard Limoges box, a small porcelain charm for anyone with Irish roots or a hope for good fortune. It is hand-painted in Limoges, France, and it brings a little green luck to the shelf.
A Bit of Irish Luck
The shamrock has been a symbol of Ireland for centuries, linked with Saint Patrick and the Irish spirit of welcome. Its simple three-leaf shape suits a round box, giving the design a clean, cheerful look. Rochard paints each one by hand, so the leaves and shading vary slightly from box to box.

March the Seventeenth and Beyond
Set it out for Saint Patrick's Day beside a loaf of soda bread, then keep it on a dresser or desk the rest of the year as a good luck charm. It makes a fitting present for a friend with Irish heritage, a traveler home from Dublin or Galway, or a graduate heading into a new job who could use a little luck. It also suits an Irish dancer, a bagpiper, or a family that hosts a ceilidh each spring. Many collectors start an Irish shelf with a piece just like this one.
