Boch Yellow Oval Plate

A yellow oval platter by Boch is generally a serving dish (for meat, vegetables, or fish) that belonged to a table service.

Serving platters were a central element in Boch tableware sets.

Yellow monochrome pieces mainly appeared during two periods:

1930–1950

Strong or pastel colours

Simple shapes

1950–1970

More modern tableware

Bright colours (yellow, turquoise, green)

A style often designed for the modern everyday table

These pieces were often paired with plates in the same colour.

This type of tableware reflects Boch’s desire to modernise the table setting in the interwar period and after World War II, favouring simple colours, elegant forms and everyday use.

Yellow platter — light on the table

In the workshops of La Louvière,
this platter was born from simple clay
and a gesture repeated a thousand times.

Its colour imitates nothing.
It tells no story of flowers or landscapes.

It simply holds the light.

On a table,
it waits for fruit, bread, and shared dishes.

Ordinary gestures—
the ones that become memories.

A discreet object.
Yet faithful.

Like the seasons
that always return.
