Villeroy & Boch Urban Nature Collection

Photobucket

Grandma Kocks was an avid porcelain collector. So as Mama Kocks. Infact I think the whole family from xxx generation are porcelain fanatic to the point that my hub is one too. Both Mama and Hub had herited some sets from the previous generation, especially Mama whom has a few cupboards in every nook of the house just to store them in place. As for our collection, it pales in comparison of course. In our little kitchen lies a full set of Villeroy & Boch´s Bauernblume Series, Johnson Bro´s Olives de Provence, Scherzer and Wunsiedel - of which I think all of it are discontinued and we´re only able to extend the collection by ordering from replacement companies like these.

Hub I must add, likes his porcelain a bit country feel. Me on the other hand love them classic or modern, and preferably a white series. To me, it not only look timeless, and great on any table setting, it sheds a perfect light on my food photography hobby too.

I´ve thought for a long time to start a porcelain collection. I have yet to start, but if I do ... this series by Villeroy & Boch will be my choice!
