Bequet was known his colorful, high-quality ceramic pieces with gold rims, majestic forms and bright colors. He opened his ceramics production factory in 1934 in Quaregnon. The apex of success for the factory was in 1963 when it employed 150 workers, but eventually closed its doors when the pottery and its director then began to experience various problems. The large factory closed in December 1982. Hubert Bequet did however continue to produce pottery in a small workshop, “The Ceramics of Borinage”, until April 1985 before closing for good.
