Rochard Home Sweet Home Porcelain Limoges Box

Home Sweet Home, the phrase stitched on samplers for generations, is the theme of this cozy porcelain box. Rochard made it in Limoges, France, and painted it by hand.

Welcome Mat in Miniature

Few sayings carry as much warmth as these three words, and Rochard turned them into a small keepsake that fits on any shelf. Each one is brushed by hand after firing, so the colors and lettering vary a little from box to box, the way a handmade sampler would.

The Story of the Little Box

Small porcelain boxes first became the fashion in 18th-century France, when they held snuff, pills and beauty patches. Today they mark moments instead, and moving day is one of the best. Hand this one to a couple closing on their first house, a friend unpacking a new apartment, or parents who have just downsized after many years in the family home. It looks right on an entry table, a kitchen windowsill or a bookshelf beside framed photos.
