SLOW DÉCOR FOR AN INTENTIONAL LIFESTYLE.

Such a rarity to find this bowl, with the shape and flared walls and substantial weight of fine ironstone. Elegant, timeless, and full of history. This vintage Boch La Louvière bowl is one of them. Made in Belgium, it features the iconic lion’s head handles, a motif steeped in European tradition, symbolizing strength and refinement. Crafted from ironstone, this bowl has a beautiful, weighty feel that speaks to its quality and durability.

A Bowl with a Story

Founded in 1841, Boch Frères Keramis was known for producing fine ceramics that graced both everyday homes and grand European dining tables. This particular piece, with its flat-bottomed design and substantial size (23 cm in diameter, 10 cm high), was likely intended as a serving bowl, perfect for hearty family meals. Unlike the more common footed lion’s head soup bowls, this design is more grounded—practical, yet every bit as decorative.

The green Boch La Louvière maker’s mark suggests it dates to the early 20th century, a time when European kitchens still relied on durable ironstone pieces for their beauty and function. Its softly aged glaze and gentle wear only add to its character, hinting at years of meals shared and stories told around the table.
