About Boch Freres, Keramis, Royal Boch
Boch's faience manufacture at La Louvière, Belgium, was established by Jean-François Boch and directed by Victor Boch from 1844. It won a gold medal in 1847 and expanded into polychrome ware around 1860. Charles Catteau joined in 1906 and became a major designer. The company went bankrupt in 1985 and was reactivated under Novoboch and MRL Boch names.
