Our Services
Villeroy & Boch eShop is a secure shopping site. All private data is encrypted and credit card processing is provided by PayPal – one of the most trusted and secure Internet merchant service providers in the world.
Our Official Online Shop has the largest current selection available in the United States. The pattern you are looking for may have been discontinued and no longer in production. We recommend checking online auctions to see if you can find discontinued patterns. Our eService team is also here to help you identify other complementing products from our current assortment to match your existing collection.
If an item is temporarily out of stock you will not be able to add this product to your shopping cart. Please check back occasionally, as you will be able to purchase this item once more inventory arrives.
You can “bookmark” this item by adding it to a Wishlist for future purchase (you must be logged in to use this feature). To access your already created Wishlist, please navigate to the “My Account” area at the top of the page.

Product and Material Information
Premium bone porcelain, also referred to as fine china, is made of a high quality mixture of ceramic materials and bone ash. This top-of-the-line dinnerware is lightweight, semi-transparent product that is usually in a brighter white tone and is one of the strongest types of dishes.
Premium porcelain, also referred to as china, is a high-quality product that is made of a blend of fine materials fired multiple times at very high temperatures. The high-quality and shell-like glimmer of this type of dinnerware is similar to bone china, yet premium porcelain is more affordable.
Borosilicate glass is a special type of glass that is made with boron oxide, making it extremely resistant to high heat. It is dishwasher safe and can be used to enjoy both and cold beverages.
When dinnerware or flatware is sold as a place setting you will be buying a full setting that includes everything one person needs to enjoy at least a three-course meal.
Buffet plates and chargers are a wonderful way to add an extra bit of glamour to your table setting. Stacked underneath the dinner plate, these pieces are decorative and elevate your tablescape style.
The numbers 18/10 represent the amount of chromium and nickel in the flatware’s composition. In this case, there is 18% chromium and 10% nickel. Important to note is the nickel percentage, as nickel makes the product resistant to corrosion and easy to care for, which means as the grade starts to go from 18/10, to 18/8 to 18/0, the flatware will become less lustrous and less durable.
Product care
Most porcelain and bone porcelain Villeroy & Boch products are dishwasher and microwave safe. We recommend using non-scented dish soap.
Metallic Embellishing: Dinnerware with gold or platinum embellishments (examples include but are not limited to Anmut My Colour, Amazonia, etc.) is not microwave safe. Hand washing is recommended; the occasional gentle cycle is fine.
Your crystal stemware/glassware is dishwasher safe. We recommend using non-scented dish soap. Please place glasses on the top rack (secure stemware in holders if available). We recommend using a crystal, gentle or other low-heat setting.
Your flatware is dishwasher safe. We recommend using non-scented dish soap and placing your flatware in the bin with the handles down.
