Set of 12 Vintage Boch Frères Dessert or Breakfast Plates - 1940s Art Deco meets Mid-Century Modern An elegant set of 12 faience plates by Boch Frères La Louvière, Belgium, dating to the late Art Deco era, circa 1940. These pieces beautifully bridge the stylistic transition into Mid-Century Modern, making them a timeless choice for both vintage collectors and contemporary table stylists. The design is striking in its clean, minimalist composition: a trio of fine lines—gold, orange, gold—wrap delicately around the rim, adding a subtle yet refined decorative touch. The plates themselves are a soft cream hue, lending warmth and sophistication. At 20 cm in diameter, they are ideal for serving breakfast, dessert, or light meals. Their understated elegance allows them to seamlessly complement both vintage Art Deco and modern minimalist table settings—a versatile accent for any interior style that values craftsmanship and design heritage. Every plate bears the original Boch Frères La Louvière maker’s mark on the reverse, confirming its authenticity and origin. Minor variations in size (up to 3-5 mm in diameter or height) may occur between plates. Small imperfections are considered normal for ceramic pieces from the early to mid-20th century and are part of their handcrafted charm. Condition: Light signs of age and patina on the gilding, consistent with vintage use. Boch Frères, founded in 1841 in Belgium, is a distinguished name in the world of ceramics and porcelain.
