Mettlach Catalog
Mettlach dates to 1836 when a pottery founded by François Boch merged with one owned by Nicolas Villeroy
to form the famous ceramic company called Villeroy & Boch. By the late 19th century, the company had seven factories,
but the one at Mettlach, most famous for its production of steins, became known by the village name. Mettlach also
produced plaques, vases, and table wares, all of which are known for their intricately decorated surfaces
in a variety of designs and styles.
