The company, making earthenwares and stonewares, won honours in international exhibitions for imitations of Delft (at Brussels 1880), Rouen and Sèvres wares (at Paris 1889).  The company was later affiliated with Villeroy & Boch and continued in business until about 1980.\n\nHistorical significance: This vase, an exuberant example of naturalism, shows Boch Frères working in a style independent of their usual imitations of Delft, Rouen and Sèvres wares.  It was acquired at the time of the Museum's redisplay in 1969 of its 19th century continental collections at the Bethnal Green Museum.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Stoneware vase, marbled, with applied and lustred decoration, Boch Frères Keramis, Belgium, ca. 1847","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Faider Thomas, Dr. Thérèse: Faiences de Keramis: les formes, les decors, les artistes; Annales du Cercle archéologique et folklorique de la Louvière et du Centre; vol III, 1966"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"VASE\r\n   Boch frères Keramis\r\n      Manufacturers\r\n  Belgium (La Louvière):\r\n         about 1847\r\n   Stoneware, marbelled \r\n  with applied and lustred \r\n            decoration\r\n\r\n          Circ.16-1969\r\n\r\nThe Boch Frères' Keramis factory was founded in 1841 in La Louivière, Hainault (St.Vaast), in Belgium, after its separation from Luxembourg, by two brothers, Eugen (1809-1898) and Frédéric Victor Boch (1817-1920) with their brother-in-law Jean-Baptiste Nothomb (1805-1881), the company won varoius honours in international exhibitions form the mid 1840s for their imitations of Delft, Rouen and even Sèvres wares.
