Introducing the Rim Plate

The eagerly anticipated Rim Plate from Villeroy & Boch's popular "Manufacture Rock" series is set to debut on August 25, 2026. This innovative plate features a stunning design that pairs perfectly with the existing collection, making it an excellent choice for both new buyers and those looking to enhance their tableware.

Not Just a Plate, But a Culinary Art Canvas

Designed to elevate your dining experience, the Rim Plate's unique shape incorporates a higher rim, which creates a beautiful contrast with the plate's center, offering a fresh approach to food presentation. This variation in height also facilitates creative layering, allowing home cooks to present their dishes with the sophistication of a restaurant-quality meal. The elevated design naturally guides plating, making it an ideal option for beginners just beginning their journey into upscale dining.

High-Quality Craftsmanship

Manufactured in Germany from durable premium porcelain, the Rim Plate maintains the quality standards Villeroy & Boch is renowned for. The plates are microwave and dishwasher safe, combining practicality with striking aesthetics. With a non-porous surface and a matte finish reminiscent of slate, the Rim Plate brings elegance to everyday meals or special occasions alike.

Seasonal Decor for Every Occasion

As the seasons change, the Rim Plate adapts to showcase a rich variety of autumnal ingredients. Whether it's vibrant pumpkins or exotic mushrooms, every dish can be beautifully presented against the matte backdrop of the plate. Create festive table settings that shine with a mix of black (Rock) and white (Rock Blanc) plates, enriching your seasonal dining ambiance.

Special Launch Promotions

To celebrate the launch, customers purchasing the Rim Plate will receive an exclusive autumn recipe booklet, featuring dishes that transform easy ingredients into gourmet meals. Features include recipes like "Invisible Cake with Grilled Mushrooms and Pumpkin" and "Chicken with Figs and Agrodolce" — both designed to match the beauty of your new tableware perfectly.
