{"product_id":"villeroy-boch-amapola-quiche-dish-20-5cm","title":"Villeroy \u0026 Boch \"Amapola\" Fluted Quiche Dish, 20.5cm — Vilbofour, Made in Germany","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eAmapola\u003c\/em\u003e pattern — named after the Spanish word for poppy — is one of those designs that makes you wonder why anyone ever stopped making it. Introduced by Villeroy \u0026amp; Boch in 1978 and discontinued in 2001, it had a good run. But finding pieces from the Vilbofour oven-to-table line in solid condition is becoming a quiet challenge for collectors who actually want to use what they collect. This is vintage that earns its place in a working kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eAmapola\u003c\/em\u003e quiche dish is a study in restrained charm — a cream ground with scalloped edges, a signature green rim, and embossed poppies in peach, blue, and purple with green foliage. At 20.5cm, it's the ideal size for a personal quiche, a tart for two, or a flan that doesn't need to feed a crowd — a considered addition to a kitchen that believes beautiful bakeware makes better food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black \u003cem\u003eVilbofour\u003c\/em\u003e backstamp reading “Made in Germany” places this piece in the post-reunification production era, circa 1990–2001 — distinguishing it from the earlier “West Germany” stamped pieces and confirming it as part of the pattern's final, refined production run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Villeroy \u0026amp; Boch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amapola\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vilbofour (oven-to-table cookware)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1990–2001, black backstamp — Made in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.5 cm (~8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitro-Porcelain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery good to excellent vintage condition.

A small number of transfer printing inclusions are visible on the inner surface — tiny specks from the transfer paper used during the original firing process, entirely normal in ceramics of this era and not considered a defect.
