Santa Claus Carrying Gift Bag Rochard Limoges Box

Santa Claus sets out on his rounds with a full gift bag slung over his shoulder, ready for a long night of chimneys. This Rochard Limoges box is hand-painted porcelain, made in Limoges, France.

Down the Chimney With a Full Sack

The bag of presents is the heart of the Santa story, the reason families listen for sleigh bells on Christmas Eve. Here it takes center stage beside the man himself, in the familiar suit and beard everyone knows. The painting is done by hand, so each Santa has his own subtle expression.

Under the Tree

Set it on the mantel among the stockings, on the coffee table beside a bowl of ornaments, or on a tree skirt among wrapped boxes where it fits right in. It makes a warm thank-you for the friend who plays Santa at the office party, a mail carrier who delivered every package on time, or a grandparent who collects Santas. Many families bring it out on the first of December and set it in the same spot every year.
