Roger Guèrin (1896-1954) was one of the most important Belgian ceramicists in Bouffioulx, near Charleroi. He was a member of the Société des Grès d’Art de Bouffioulx. His use of flowing glazes in his decorations was typical. Guèrin was faithful to the history of his region and often worked in a type of hard ceramic (fired at temperatures above 1250 degrees Celsius), which had been made there since the late Middle Ages. He exhibited his work at the Paris expos of 1925 and 1937. Guèrin collaborated with artists such as Cris Achterberg, Marcel Wolfers, Pierre Caille, Damien Ingels, and Chris Lebeau.
