• Acquired a Villeroy& Boch catalogue.

Missed these great objects - the seller wouldn't ship to Australia:

Here's an article about Mettlach Marks.

More information.

An interesting jug I missed from a German auction site, possibly 15 December 2006.

It sold for 60 Euros.

Mettlach-Kakaokanne. Steingut, grüner Hermes-Stempel, Dekor 8202.Kugelig gebaucht, Deckel mit Kugelknauf und anmodelliertem Sieb.Auf cremeweißer Glasur blau-weinrotes Karo-Dekor mit schwarzenKreuzungspunkten. H 21 cm. ABB.B 126

It seems that the character on Villeroy & Boch's stamp is Hermes. I didn't realise that: he wears a winged cap and carries a caduceus.

Missed this jug on eBay! It sold for 5.5 euros.

eBay's searches aren't all they're cracked up to be. I think you'd almost be better off going through Google.

Jug 1

I currently have two jugs of this kind, with slight variations:

• both jugs have a base of about 80 mm
• both have a mouth about 100 mm wide with a spout at the front
• both have a maximum diameter of about 130 - 140 mm
• one has an everted lip, the other an inverted lip
• the jug with the inverted lip is slightly higher than the other, and its handle is attached to the rim, rather than below the rim
• both were made in French Saar.

Mixing Bowls

To date, I have four Villeroy & Boch mixing bowls in pattern 8202.

These bowls are between 124 and 228 millimetres in diameter. I have one each of:

• Mixing Bowl 1, 124 mm,
• Mixing Bowl 3, 178 mm,
• Mixing Bowl 4, 204 mm, and
• Mixing Bowl 5, 228 mm.

I know that one bowl, Mixing Bowl 2, existed that was broken.

They were produced in the Saarland when it was French (as far as I know).

Saucer

To date, I have four Villeroy & Boch saucers in pattern 8202.

These saucers are about 150 millimetres in diameter (I have one each of 147 mm, 149 mm, 150 mm and 152 mm).

It was produced in the Saarland when it was German (as far as I know).

Two of the saucers are labelled 'handgemalt', or 'hand painted'.

Bread Plate

To date, I have six Villeroy & Boch bread plates in pattern 8202.

These plates are about 190 millimetres in diameter (I have two that are 191 mm and one of 189 mm).

The bread plates were produced in the Saarland both when it was French and when it was German (I have two French and one German version).
