Villeroy & Boch is one of the oldest continuously working names in European ceramics, and Burgenland is the pattern most collectors reach for first when they search the maker. The mark on the reverse — "fabrique en Sarre" — was only ever used during the years the Saarland sat under French economic administration, so this set carries its own dated window rather than a vague guess at the century. Ten matching pieces have stayed together, in a pattern that more often turns up scattered across estate sales one or two plates at a time; a set this complete, from a name this established, is not something that comes along often.
14,5cm wide
We've done our best to photograph and describe each piece as accurately as possible, though with antique ceramics, a little craquelure and discolouring is part of the charm rather than a flaw to hide. Every piece is packed with the same care we'd want it to arrive with, and our shipping cost reflects that.
