The \u003cstrong\u003eAcapulco\u003c\/strong\u003e pattern by Villeroy \u0026amp; Boch is one of those rare icons. Designed by \u003cstrong\u003eChristine Reuter\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1967 and produced on the elegant \u003cstrong\u003eMilano\u003c\/strong\u003e shape, Acapulco arrived at the height of the mid-century modern movement and captured something the era did brilliantly: bold, joyful colour with genuine artistic confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis coffee pot is a particularly special find. The \u003cstrong\u003eblue factory stamp\u003c\/strong\u003e identifies it as an \u003cstrong\u003eearly production piece from the late 1960s to early 1970s\u003c\/strong\u003e — the first runs of a pattern that would go on to be produced for over two decades. Early Acapulco pieces are significantly harder to source than later editions, and in Australia, they are genuinely rare. If you have been looking for one, this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Villeroy \u0026amp; Boch, Luxembourg factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePattern: Acapulco, designed by Christine Reuter, 1967\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Milano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Premium porcelain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction era: Early run, c.1967–1970s (confirmed by blue factory stamp)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 1.25 litres — 5 to 6 cups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 21.5cm tall | 24cm handle to spout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent vintage condition.
