Rochard Green Wine Book Limoges Box

A green book devoted to wine forms this porcelain piece, like a volume pulled from a sommelier's private library. It is a Rochard piece, a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box from Limoges, France.

Notes From the Cellar

Wine enthusiasts often keep a shelf of well thumbed guides to vineyards, vintages and pairings. This little green book nods to that habit, celebrating the lore of the grape in a form that will never gather a wine stain.

The Rochard Library

Rochard is one of the best known names in modern Limoges boxes, with a talent for subjects that carry personality. A book about wine is a clever idea, combining two of life's quieter pleasures, reading and a good glass of something red.

Uncork the Occasion

• A Rochard design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• A smart addition to a wine, book or culinary collection
• Pairs with wine bottles, grapes and cheese board pieces

This is a thoughtful present for a sommelier, a winemaker, a wine club host or the friend who plans vacations around vineyard tours. Set it on a wine rack shelf, a bar cart or a bookshelf in the study. It also fits neatly in a collection of book shaped boxes, adding a French wine country chapter to the porcelain library.
