Vintage Villeroy & Boch “Artemis” Hunting Scene Plate

Vintage Villeroy & Boch “Artemis” Hunting Scene Plate – Retired Jagdgeschirr Collection (Auf der Pirsch Design)

Step into the quiet stillness of the countryside with this beautifully detailed vintage ceramic plate from the now retired “Artemis” (Jagdgeschirr) collection by Villeroy & Boch, one of Germany’s most renowned porcelain makers.

Produced in the mid-20th century and no longer in production, the Artemis series has become increasingly sought after by collectors for its finely detailed hunting scenes and timeless monochrome aesthetic. Each piece reflects a bygone era, capturing the tradition and ritual of European country life through intricate black transfer ware illustrations on a soft cream background.

This particular plate features the evocative “Auf der Pirsch” (“On the Stalk”) scene depicting a hunter, rifle in hand, moving cautiously through tall grass alongside his loyal dog in pursuit of deer. The composition is both atmospheric and elegant, with remarkable detail that draws the eye and tells a quiet story of patience and skill.

I currently have a small curated selection available, including three different designs and two matching examples—each sold separately. Whether styled individually or displayed together as a gallery wall, these plates bring a refined, heritage feel to any interior.
