AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am offering for sale this superb baluster earthenware vase from the famous Belgian manufacturer Boch Frères Keramis.
This piece from the "Polychrome" collection is entirely handworked, as evidenced by the signature under the base.
Its rich and colorful floral decoration, in shades of blue, red, ochre, and green.
Its flared neck form (Médicis type) will perfectly showcase your finest bouquets while being a striking and refined decorative object in its own right.
Dimensions :
Height: 30.5 cm
Neck diameter: 18 cm
Base diameter: 10.5 cm
Material: Ceramic
Signature: Boch Belgium (hand-painted)
Weight: 1.040 kg
Condition: Very good. No chips or cracks, nor flakes or impacts. However, we note a small stain on the inner face of the rim (marked by a blue arrow in the photos) and the vase has a few "small grains" (like tiny nodules) here and there!
Also note that, in my opinion (this is personal), the colors have certainly dulled somewhat since its creation! (I should mention that the photos have not been retouched)
Despite these minor flaws the vase is in excellent condition!
Carefully protected and very neatly packaged shipping!
