A charming Villeroy & Boch Schramberg majolica plate from the 1900s: pink ground with a raised elderberry (Holunder) wreath and leafy border - made to display.

This 1920s Villeroy & Boch Schramberg majolica plate pairs a vivid pink ground with a moulded wreath of elderberry clusters and leaves.

The relief is crisp and lively, the glazes beautifully pooled - sky blues and moss greens against the rosy centre. Sized at 19 cm, it’s ideal as wall art, a dessert/cheese plate, or as a colour-pop on open shelving.

A versatile, collectible example of interwar German majolica with real styling presence.

Origin & Maker

Villeroy & Boch, founded in 1748, is a renowned name in ceramics and tableware, with a legacy spanning over 270 years. The company began in Lorraine, France, when François Boch established a small pottery workshop with his sons. Simultaneously, Nicolas Villeroy founded his own ceramics business in Germany. In 1836, the two companies merged, creating one of the first global brands in the ceramics industry.

Throughout the 19th century, Villeroy & Boch became known for innovation and quality, introducing iconic products like Mettlach tiles and popularizing the use of ceramics in everyday life. The company’s commitment to blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design helped it thrive even through the challenges of two World Wars.

In the 20th century, Villeroy & Boch expanded globally, becoming a leader in bathroom ceramics and modernizing its production processes. The company embraced new technologies and sustainable practices, positioning itself as a luxury brand.

Today, Villeroy & Boch remains a family-owned business headquartered in Mettlach, Germany, continuing its tradition of excellence while adapting to modern trends. Their products, from elegant tableware to innovative bathroom solutions, reflect a timeless blend of heritage and contemporary design.
