Details

In 1844 the general partnership "Boch Frères" was founded under the leadership of Victor BOCH. The factory was located on the territory of the municipality of Saint-Vaast in Hainaut (Belgium). Geographically, this was ideal because of ore deposits, mine shafts in which excellent lean coal was extracted. In addition, you also had the Charleroi canal nearby. Thanks to its favorable geographic location, the faience factory has been successful from the outset. It has gained a solid reputation through royal visits and numerous awards at international exhibitions (including Paris: 1855, London: 1862, Porto 1865, Paris 1867 and Amsterdam 1869).
