Product description
Set of Six Boch Frères Faience Plates with Matching Serving Platter – Blue Onion (Zwiebelmuster) Pattern, Belgium, c. 1920s
This elegant seven-piece faience service by Boch Frères beautifully illustrates the enduring appeal of the iconic Blue Onion (Zwiebelmuster) pattern—one of Europe’s most celebrated decorative designs. Delicate cobalt-blue floral scrolls and stylized botanical motifs unfold across a crisp ivory-white ground, while the finely fluted rims add texture and refinement, creating a timeless balance between simplicity and sophistication.
For more than a century, the Blue Onion pattern has remained remarkably fashionable, effortlessly complementing both traditional and contemporary interiors. Its understated elegance and unmistakable blue-and-white palette continue to make it one of the most sought-after tableware designs today.
The set comprises six dinner plates, each measuring 24 cm (9.4 in) in diameter, together with a matching oval serving platter measuring 24 × 30 cm (9.4 × 11.8 in). The serving platter bears the original Boch Frères backstamp, confirming the authenticity of the service.
The pieces remain in very good vintage condition, with no chips or cracks. They display only light signs of use consistent with careful handling over the past century, adding to their authentic character without detracting from their beauty.
Founded in the 19th century in La Louvière, Belgium, Boch Frères Keramis became one of Europe’s most influential ceramic manufacturers. Renowned for combining exceptional craftsmanship with innovative design, the factory produced both refined everyday tableware and ambitious artistic ceramics. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Boch Frères earned an international reputation for quality and exported its wares throughout Europe, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to be highly appreciated by collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
