Description from the seller
Refined, lively, and exceptionally complete dining set crafted by the prestigious Villeroy & Boch manufactory in the famous Bali model. This collection stands out for a wonderful Mediterranean-style botanical motif, featuring sunny lemons, fresh walnuts, delicate flowers and shaded leaves, finely framed by a thin brick-red/bordeaux perimeter trim.
Made in the renowned Vitro-Porcelaine of the house, the dough of this service proves extremely fine, thin, and surprisingly light to the touch, granting each piece a superior elegance without sacrificing the typical shine and durability. It combines the charm of grand antique porcelain with exceptional handling and table elegance.

The Villeroy & Boch Manufacture – Septfontaines (Luxembourg)
The mark on the bottom (Ancienne Manufacture Impériale et Royale Fondée en 1767 - Made in Luxembourg) certifies historical production at the Septfontaines facilities in Luxembourg. Founded in the 18th century and awarded the title Imperial and Royal Manufacture by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, Villeroy & Boch represents one of the highest echelons of European ceramic art. The Bali model, now out of production, is increasingly rare to find in such extensive configurations; it is one of the most loved and elegant botanical/fruit lines of the house.
Condition
The set is presented in excellent vintage condition. The porcelain, ultra-fine and light, retains its glossy glaze intact, and the colors of the botanical decorations are extraordinarily vivid and well defined. No chipping, cracks, or crazing are found on the pieces. A collection cared for with immense attention over time.
Shipping
Given the exceptional size of the lot (54 pieces) and the presence of substantial serving pieces, shipping will be organized with maximum safety packaging (dividing into multiple reinforced double-wall boxes). Each piece will be individually protected with high-thickness bubble wrap. Tracked shipping with express courier.
Seller's Story
Vintage ceramics and porcelains are often worked and decorated with masterful precision and delicacy, they are objects of timeless charm, the result of knowledge handed down and widespread. From a historical and cultural point of view, they represent an extraordinary combination of craftsmanship and art, which takes the form of works of rare beauty.
An authentic passion that drives me to identify shapes, models and decorations and to identify a possible or certain dating of the objects through a continuous study of sources and archives.
