Rochard White Poodle Porcelain Limoges Box

Crisp and white from nose to tail, this poodle carries all the poise the breed is famous for. Rochard sculpted the dog as a Limoges box, and the painting was done by hand in Limoges, France.

Best in Show Manners

Poodles have a reputation for brains and elegance in equal measure, and a white coat shows off that groomed, show-ring look. Rochard gave the figure a calm, confident bearing. Because each box is finished by hand, the shading in the coat varies a little from one piece to the next.

A Very French Dog

The poodle is often linked with France, which makes a poodle made in Limoges feel especially right. It suits a dresser, a vanity tray or a curio shelf, and it makes a kind present for a groomer, a breeder, or anyone who once shared their home with a white poodle. Many owners keep it near a framed photo as a gentle remembrance.

Kaolin and Kilns

Limoges became a porcelain town after kaolin, a fine white clay, was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768. Production has continued there since the late 1700s.
