Mobach is the grand family of Dutch ceramics. In one
form or another the Mobach family has
been involved in ceramics for eight generations. The Mobachs were a family of weavers who
suffered greatly during the economic depression of the French occupation of Holland (1795-1813).
Jaan Pieter Mobach (1766-1826) was forced to abandon his trade and obtained work with the
Kremer family, who produced ceramic pipes and roof tiles, as well as utilitarian kitchenware.
For three generations the Mobachs worked for the Kremer family, rising to the top management.
In 1884, Jaan Pieters Mobach (1826-1898) had a falling out with the Kremer family and founded
Mobach Pottenbakker in Bolsward. In 1895 the family ceramics business was moved to Utrecht.
The eighth generation, Kasper Mobach (b 1961), continues the family tradition today.
