Jean-Françoise Boch and Nicholas Villeroy were rival businessmen, who merged their three works in 1836 in order to survive on the European market. Both Villeroy and Boch owned individually successful tableware enterprises, but together their production quickly grew, both in range, in material and in quality.
Within 15 years Villeroy & Boch tableware and decorative objects were available throughout Europe, England and in North and South America. Today Villeroy & Boch is a hallmark of quality, with an extensive design scheme and product range.
