1998A Day in the Life
Villeroy and Boch is one of the largest and most successful European ceramic factories. Its origins are in Lorraine, an independent principality later annexed by France, but it has also operated over the years in Luxemburg and on either side of the Franco-German border. It celebrated its 250th anniversary in 1998, the year in which this delicate mug titled, 'A Day in the Life' was designed by Paloma Picasso, daughter of Pablo. Well-known for her Art Deco style jewellery and striking textile designs, she has designed ceramics, glass and cutlery for Villeroy & Boch since 1987.
