Add a touch of refined tradition to your tea service with this charming Villeroy & Boch Valeria sugar bowl, dating to the 1920s.

The Valeria pattern, with its crisp red floral sprays on a soft cream ground, is a testament to Villeroy & Boch’s mastery of transfer printing and their enduring commitment to quality. The rounded body, double loop handles, and neatly fitting lid speak of the late Victorian and Edwardian influences still favoured by European households of the time.

Produced in the company’s celebrated Mettlach workshops, this sugar bowl combines beauty and practicality — the lid keeps sugar fresh, while the fine porcelain and glazing have preserved its elegance for over a century.

An ideal companion to the Valeria teapot and creamer, it also stands beautifully on its own as a collectible piece of red transferware.

    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.
