Union Jack British Flag Rochard Porcelain Limoges Box

The crosses of the Union Jack spread boldly across this porcelain box in red, white and blue. Rochard made it as a hand-painted Limoges box in Limoges, France, a crisp salute to Britain from the other side of the Channel.

Rule, Britannia

The Union flag combines the crosses of England, Scotland and Ireland, and it is one of the most recognized designs in the world. On porcelain it reads clearly from across a room. Each line is painted by hand, so there are small variations from one box to the next.

Afternoon Tea Table Pairings

• A Rochard flag design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Joins teapot, double decker bus and Big Ben pieces
• Fits a British, London or world flag collection

A Nod to the Old Country

It makes a fine present for someone with British roots, an exchange student heading home, or a family returning from a London holiday. Anglophiles who follow the royal family or never miss a period drama will know exactly where it belongs. Set it on a tea tray, a bookshelf beside travel guides, or a desk in a home office. It also suits a coronation or jubilee watch party, and it makes a cheerful thank-you for a host who served a proper afternoon tea.
