Is this a Villeroy and Boch? Pottery Mark Query:- I received a chocolate set from my father a few years ago. He picked it up at an auction sale, not because he thought it might be valuable, but because he knew I would love it. It has a mark that looks very similar to Villeroy and Boch, but I can't find an exact match of this mark. Is this set Villeroy and Boch? What time period? If not, do you have any ideas of other makers I should look at, or approximate years to consider?
Reply by Peter (admin) To: Is this a Villeroy and Boch? Pottery Mark Query Hi Julie Thanks for your interesting query, and for sending in some great photos. I really appreciate the time and trouble you took to contact the site and join the Newsletter friends. The mark is probably not Villeroy & Boch in my humble opinion. Why? Well, the earliest start date for Villeroy & Boch is normally given as 1748 when François Boch began manufacturing ceramic tableware in the village of Audun-le-Tiche in the Duchy of Lorraine. As far as I can see from the picture, the date says 'Est. 1828'? Although the pottery mark is very similar to the many variations of the circular V & B marks, I have never before seen a genuine Villeroy & Boch mark without the extra markings of V & B or Mettlach. The detail is also different. So while I can tell you who the maker isn't, unfortunately I can't tell you who it is. Use my 'Bring In The Experts' page to contact someone who probably can. While you do have to pay for this professional service, you don't have to pay any money upfront, and I've designed it especially to protect my visitors from wasting time and money online. I hope this helps you with your very nice set.
