Villeroy & Boch Blue Onion Porcelain Oval Platter

At 32 cm across, this Villeroy and Boch oval platter carries the Blue Onion pattern with the crisp, well-defined transfer printing that distinguishes a quality European manufacturer from lesser imitators, its cobalt decoration sharp against a clean white porcelain ground.

Villeroy and Boch, founded in 1748 and headquartered in Mettlach, Germany, is one of Europe's oldest and most respected ceramic manufacturers. The Blue Onion pattern, originally derived from Chinese porcelain designs and first produced by Meissen in the 18th century, has been widely adopted by European potteries and remains one of the most recognised blue-and-white patterns in the world. Villeroy and Boch's version is characterised by its precise transfer printing and consistent glaze quality. This platter carries the Villeroy and Boch mark to the reverse, confirming its attribution. Condition is very good, with no chips, cracks, or wear to the decoration noted.
