The origins of Villeroy & Boch date back to 1748 when François Boch and his three sons began manufacturing fine ceramic tableware and decorative art objects in the Lorraine region. After decades of successful expansion, Jean-François Boch made a move in 1836 by merging his family's enterprise with that of his chief rival, the successful stoneware manufacturer Nicolas Villeroy. This alliance formed Villeroy & Boch, creating a European ceramics powerhouse that would adapt and thrive through centuries of shifting borders and evolving global tastes.

One of the most recognisable and beloved tableware designs of the 20th century, the Acapulco pattern is a true masterpiece of mid-century modern optimism. Released by Villeroy & Boch in 1967, the design was created by Christine Reuter following an inspiring trip to Mexico.
