10 Villeroy & Boch dessert plates, 1950

Timeless elegance and vintage charm characterize this set of 10 dessert plates by Villeroy & Boch. Made in the 1950s in Mettlach, Germany, during the Saarland Economic Union. The "Made in France - Saar. Economic Union" designation refers to a specific historical period, between 1947 and 1956, when the Saarland (a border region between France and Germany) was under French economic administration. Products made in this area therefore bore this designation. These fine ecru-colored earthenware plates are highlighted with a delicate gold border. Each plate has a beautiful patina of age, with a network of cracks visible under the glaze, characteristic of antique ceramics. The set is in very good overall condition and perfectly functional, ideal for a refined table or a charming decoration. Pair with white, gold, or even colored tableware for an elegant and contemporary effect.
