Placemats & Napkins, Villeroy & Boch Basket Garden, Embroidered Fruit & Flowers, Polyester-Ramie, Set for 4 (8 Pcs), Vintage 1983+

A charming basket of fruits and flowers with a green lattice border — Villeroy & Boch's Basket pattern translated from porcelain to fabric, and just as pleasing in both forms.

Villeroy & Boch introduced the Basket pattern in 1983, and it became one of the most enduring of their designs — warm, botanical, and casually elegant in equal measure. This coordinating textile set was made to pair with the dinnerware, but it works naturally with almost any table. Four placemats, four napkins; the napkins' smaller floral motif and green serged edge tie the whole setting together. These appear never used — still stiff — though a wash before first use is recommended. Polyester-ramie blend; machine washable.

A complete, considered table for four — lovely as an everyday set or a gift for a Villeroy & Boch collector.
