AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Polychrome painted faience vase with floral decoration, signed “Hubert Béquet” and numbered 683 (engraved in the mass).
Hubert Béquet (1912-?) was a Belgian ceramist and industrialist who began his career in 1926 at the Auguste Mouzin et Compagnie (AMC) faience factory in Wasmuël, before founding his own faience factory in Quaregnon in 1934. The company, specializing in hand-painted enamelled decorative pieces (floral motifs, gilding, iridescent effects), achieved great success until 1963 (peak employment >150 workers), with production ceasing around 1982 after a takeover.
Classic high jug / pitcher shape on a flared, scalloped base, elegant curved handle, flared neck, main decoration of large stylized flowers in very vivid colors (cobalt blue, deep purple, bright orange, luminous yellow, emerald green) on a textured beige ground, surrounded by foliage and berries, black frieze and molded reliefs at the neck and foot.
Very good overall condition, faience intact with no cracks or chips, paint well adherent and vivid colors intact without fading or flaking. No notable wear, no deep scratches, no visible restoration.
Provenance: private Belgian collection.
Dimensions: height 38 cm, maximum width 18 cm.
Weight: 1100 g.
