AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Polychrome painted faience vase with floral decoration, signed “Hubert Béquet” and numbered 747 (engraved in the mass).
Hubert Bequet (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 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 amphora shape with high curved handles, flared, scalloped gold-edged rim, slender body on a flared scalloped foot, deep matte black ground with large stylized flowers in vivid colors (cobalt blue, deep purple, bright orange, luminous yellow, emerald green) surrounded by foliage and berries, black frieze and gilding on the handles and the foot.
Very good overall condition, faience intact with no cracks or chips, paint well adherent and vibrant colors intact without fading or flaking. No notable wear, no deep scratches, no visible restoration.
Provenance: private Belgian collection.
Dimensions: height 34 cm, maximum width 21 cm, depth 11 cm.
Weight: 900 g.
