Inspired by paintings seen by Reuter on her holiday
in Mexico, and applied to the V&B Milano body shape. According
to the Villeroy and Boch ceramics museum, the range was introduced in
1967 and discontinued permanently in 1994 with no subsequent reissues.
The phrase "dishwasher safe" was added to the backstamp in
1992, and "microwave safe" in 1993. Lord Nelson Potteries
in England produced a similar range, also very popular, called gaytime.
