Villeroy & Boch Iconic La Boule, 7-Piece Dinnerware Set, Premium Porcelain, Dishwasher Safe, Black

Villeroy & Boch has long been my go-to for dish-ware. This classy boule is as much sculpture as a functional dish set for two. I have them in black, white, & tan, which I mix up to create different looks. Since downsizing (a lot!!) I love that I don’t have to use limited cabinet space for dishes and that they double as art pieces. Each set has salad bowls, deep-dish plates, and flat plates for 2 plus a small serving platter. Some pieces have a matte finish inside and out and some are glossy. (All black pieces are matte finish, tan is mixed, and white is glossy.) I also appreciate that V&B does not seem to chip as easily as stoneware though it will shatter if rough handled. The picture includes a tan bowl from another set nested inside a black bowl. The design and serving options are endless. For example, in summer I plan to put ice in a deep dish with the serving platter on top.

It arrived in beautiful condition. I would buy another set but they’re OOS right now. I love the size of the bowls! The plates have a edge/ridge on them and presents well. They sound like porcelain so I’m very cautious with them. I would definitely buy again. Makes more room in my cabinets because they are on my counter in an ornamental design. That’s my hand (I’m 6ft tall and a milk jug) for size and perspective.

This is a piece of art during the day and a lovely place setting for two for meals. Very unique; very versatile.
