Boch Freres Definition

Boch Freres Keramis was located in La Louviere in eastern Belgium. Many of Boch Freres’ early wares were similar to the pieces made by Villeroy & Boch. Boch Freres is best known for its colorful and very stylish pieces executed in the art deco manner. These well-known pieces were created by Charles Catteau, the head of Boch Freres decorating department. In 1848, Boch Freres became a public limited company and the factory was taken over by several persons, but went bankrupt several times. In 2009, the Boch Freres Keramis factory closed after being in financial difficulty since the mid-1880s.
