Antique Blue & White Onion Board by Boch

This is a listing for ONE antique early 20th Century white ironstone onion board.

Antique chopping boards this size served a multitude of purposes in the kitchen, for use for chopping onions and vegetables as originally intended, or as simple yet stylish small serving platters. Elegant in style, they also look stunning simply sitting on display.

Both these examples were made by Boch Les Freres of Belgium at the start of the 20th Century. They have both seen use and have therefore gained a unique timeworn and weathered patina over time. This blends in perfectly with the blue transferware pattern on both these pieces. 

There are no chips, cracks or crazing but they both do show some light staining and age marks in places.

The left board carries a small engraved mark rather than the Boch transferware backstamp. There is some staining to the rim and some minor nibbles to the glaze on the bottom half of the board.

The right hand board has a the transferware backstamp for Boch. This too has light staining all over plus a couple of surface knocks to the glaze in places.
