Editor’s Notes

The Regent pattern by Boch Frères Kéramis (BFK) is a striking example of late 19th-century Belgian transferware, often mistaken for French ironstone due to its refined aesthetic and “terre de fer” body. Produced circa 1880–1900, the pattern reflects the elegant Rococo Revival style popular in both France and Belgium at the time.

Decorated in crisp cobalt blue transfer print on a white or creamy ground, Regent features flowing scrollwork, floral sprays, and ornamental arabesques arranged asymmetrically along the rim. The design combines exuberant movement with delicate botanical detail, typical of BFK’s late-Victorian artistry.

Pieces are marked “REGENT” and stamped “B.F.K.” or “Boch Frères Kéramis”, identifiers of one of Europe’s most respected faïence and ironstone manufacturers. Produced in dinner and soup plates, tureens, serving platters, and other table pieces, the pattern balances formality and grace—making it both decorative and functional.

Today, Regent is admired for its timeless scroll motifs, luminous blue tone, and finely balanced composition. Each piece carries the hallmarks of 19th-century craftsmanship—slight variations in print, glaze, and tone that make every example subtly unique.
