CERAMICS - Brand: Boch Freres Keramis
Boch Freres Keramis
Boch Frères Keramis, later Royal Boch, was founded in 1841 by Eugène and Victor Boch, together with their brother-in-law, Jean-Baptiste Nothomb. At its height the company was one of Belgium’s largest producers of ceramics.
In 1906, Catteau moved to La Louvière, Belgium, to work as a designer at Boch Frères Keramis. In 1907 Catteau was made head of the Boch Frères decoration department, which eventually came to be known as the Atelier de Fantaisie.
Boch Frères Keramis dominated the Belgian market in the late 19th century, but it would see particular success in the first half of the 20th century with the arrival of Catteau.
