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 large covered tureen provides ample room for serving vegetables or soup. Measuring 7-1/2 inches wide, 7-1/2 inches high, and 9 inches from handle to handle, the bowl stands on a small base and is decorated with lemons and cherry blossoms, while laurel leaves ring the mouth of the vessel. Lemons, cherries, plums, and apples adorn the lid, while a rounded finial, resembling a lemon, tops off the cover and is surrounded by four leaves sculpted in low relief. Crafted from vitrified porcelain to ensure durability, 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
