La Boule

A classic Villeroy & Boch dinner set

The Villeroy & Boch La Boule is a modern interpretation of the iconic crockery collection developed by Helen von Boch in 1971. This ornamental porcelain sphere, when separated into its seven individual components, transforms into a luxury dinnerware set for two.

“Table pour deux”: Artistry & innovation

Each element of Villeroy & Boch’s La Boule has been meticulously designed to form a striking spherical sculpture when assembled. 
The set, consisting of a serving plate, two universal plates, two large bowls and two small bowls, offers a stylish table setting for two. 
La Boule is not just a thoughtful gift that showcases style and attention to detail, but also a lasting work of art, presented in a premium cardboard box, making it a cherished keepsake.

The diverse decors of La Boules

Villeroy & Boch’s La Boule collection showcases a variety of captivating decors, catering to a wide range of tastes and interior designs. Each edition to the collection spans a spectrum of colours, from classic and elegant to bold and contemporary.

NEW: La petite La Boule

Olives, nuts and small delicacies, accompanied by a selected drink and good company: the aperitif is a small moment of relaxation and enjoyment around the world, or the prelude to a special evening. This makes it all the more important that the setting is right. With La petite Boule, the aperitif becomes an experience. The small porcelain ball consists of four small bowls and a plate, which are ideal for serving finger food, but can also be easily put back together to form a stylish ball. This makes La petite Boule the perfect accompaniment for a stylish aperitif: decorated as a design object on a sideboard or table, it attracts everyone's attention. La petite Boule is also ideal as a gift for guests.
