The company was founded in 1748, when François Boch and his three sons began manufacturing ceramic tableware and decorative art objects. In 1836, Jean-François Boch merged with the successful stoneware manufacturer Nicolas Villeroy (a once competitor) to form what we know today, Villeroy & Boch.
Fast forward to the 1960s/70s and the company is producing some of the now iconic patterns across a range of tableware pieces, created by then designer Christine Reuter. Such patterns include Acapulco (1967), Izmir (1973) and Viking to name a few.

Pattern Acapulco
Production 1967
Model #122, Cheese Board
Dimensions 30cm long, 19cm wide
Condition Excellent condition - this is 'new, old stock' and has never been used. The boxes show signs of wear, as expected. There is one small flaw from manufacturing, where this is a slither of ceramic removed from the tile, as per the picture.
