Boch Petite Fleur

The “Petite Fleur” collection from the Belgian manufactory Boch Frères La Louvière is distinguished by a delicate border of small cobalt-blue flowers scattered along the rim of a white earthenware plate.

Often described by collectors as a “blue floral border” pattern, the design features stylized five-petaled flowers and slender leaves arranged in a light, rhythmic composition. A simple blue line frames the gently scalloped edge, while the center remains pure white.

This type of decoration reflects a popular aesthetic in Boch tableware:
a balance between European country tradition and quiet elegance.

Produced mainly during the mid-20th century, these pieces were part of everyday table services found in many Belgian homes.

The green mark on the back — “Boch La Louvière – Made in Belgium” — indicates production intended both for the Belgian market and for export.

Story

Petite Fleur

Born in the quiet workshops of La Louvière,
this plate carries a simple gesture:
small blue flowers placed one after another along the rim.

Nothing extravagant.
Just a delicate border
around everyday life.

Its pattern repeats like a quiet rhythm —
a reminder that beauty often lies
in what accompanies us daily.

At Atelier HaruFuyu, we are drawn to these objects of quiet presence.

A piece of Belgian memory,
seen through a Japanese sensibility.
