Vintage Villeroy & Boch Mettlach Encaustic Tile – Floral Motif

A richly detailed vintage encaustic tile by Villeroy & Boch, made in their historic Mettlach factory in Germany. This piece features a beautifully moulded and coloured floral motif in soft blush pink, golden ochre, chalky blue, and ivory—a romantic, symmetrical design that feels both timeless and ornate.

Stamped on the reverse with Villeroy & Boch Mettlach – Made in Germany, this tile likely dates to the early 20th century and would once have been part of a grand European floor or wall scheme. Today, it’s perfect repurposed as a trivet, styled flat on a surface or shelf, or hung as a small piece of architectural wall art.
