What customers say
The Villeroy & Boch La Boule Dinnerware Set earns high praise primarily for its breathtaking aesthetic and ingenious, space-saving spherical design. Owners frequently call the set a sculptural centerpiece that elevates kitchen decor, noting the premium porcelain quality typical of the brand. The substantial feel and pristine white finish are consistently highlighted. While the set is recognized as a design icon, its premium price causes some hesitation regarding everyday value, often leading to use for display or special occasions. Minor functional notes mention the weight and bowl depth. Overall, the strong emotional connection and unique conversation starting appeal solidify its status as a highly recommended luxury item for design enthusiasts.
Know before you buy
The set consists of two dinner plates, two pasta bowls, two individual bowls, and one serving platter. All pieces are designed to stack together into a single, spherical unit for compact storage.
Yes, the set is crafted from premium porcelain in Germany, which is known for its high resistance to chipping and wear. It is specifically designed to handle the rigors of modern, everyday dining.
Absolutely. The entire set is both dishwasher and microwave safe, allowing for convenient reheating and effortless cleanup without compromising the quality of the porcelain.
The premium porcelain construction is highly durable and resistant to scratching. While standard metal cutlery is safe to use, we recommend avoiding serrated knives directly on the surface to maintain the pristine satin finish over time.
One of the primary benefits of the La Boule design is its space-saving nature. When not in use, the seven pieces nest perfectly into a round, sculptural sphere, making it an excellent choice for smaller kitchens or minimalist storage.
