Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com Review Designed to evoke the charm of a French garden, the Fleurence pattern from Villeroy & Boch captures the relaxed contentment found in the French countryside. Clusters of fruit and cherry blossoms, laurel leaf rings in deep green, and bands of soft country yellow and pale celadon all combine to bring the airy garden feel inside. Subtle ridges, textured layers, and other sculptural elements add a touch of sophistication, enabling the collection to be used daily or for special occasions. A wonderful complement to the other tableware pieces in the French Garden line, this footed trivet can hold a substantial serving piece while simultaneously protecting delicate tables. Measuring 6-1/4 inches on each side, and standing 1 inch high, the outer rim is trimmed with a small band of soft country yellow and a ring of laurel leaves. A cluster of lemons, as well as a cherry blossom, decorate the flat surface of the trivet, while the Latin translation for lemon, Citrus limon, is written in fine script. Crafted from fine china, all Villeroy & Boch tableware pieces are resilient enough to be placed in the dishwasher and microwave. For added beauty, a top glaze has been applied to protect the vivid colors. --Lea Werbel
