Porcelain dinner plate with hand-painted fruit and vine motif, 'Melina' pattern by Villeroy & Boch

Villeroy & Boch, founded in 1748, is one of Europe's oldest and most prestigious porcelain manufacturers, based in Mettlach, Germany. The 'Melina' pattern features a charming hand-painted design of grapes, pears, strawberries, and vine leaves arranged in a decorative border, reflecting the company's tradition of combining functionality with artistic craftsmanship. This pattern was produced in the late 20th century as part of Villeroy & Boch's casual dining collections. The Melina pattern appeals to collectors of fine European porcelain and enthusiasts of vintage tableware who appreciate colorful, fruit-themed designs. Villeroy & Boch pieces are highly valued by tableware collectors and those seeking quality European ceramics for both display and everyday use. The fruit motif makes this pattern particularly popular among those who enjoy traditional, garden-inspired dining aesthetics and collectors of discontinued Villeroy & Boch patterns.
