Boch Frères - Vase - 1223 - Earthenware - Floral vase

Superb and elegant handled ceramic vase from the prestigious Belgian manufacturer Boch Frères La Louvière (Keramis). Bearing the historical mold form number 1223, this iconic piece from the late Art Deco period or mid-century is adorned with the highly sought-after "Shanghai" floral motif, traditionally attributed to the design studio led by Raymond Chevallier. The body features a dense, hand-painted arrangement of stylized peonies or chrysanthemums in deep pink hues, contrasting beautifully with bright azure blue accents and brown foliage on a crisp cream background. The lateral geometric handles, with their angular zigzag profile, along with the trim at the rim, are fully highlighted in rich gold leaf gilding, which dramatically accentuates the sculptural silhouette (a design so dynamic it almost feels like a precursor to pop art aesthetics).

The vase is in excellent vintage condition, showing only minimal, honest signs of surface wear completely normal for its age. Regarding specifications, it stands 24 cm tall with a maximum diameter of 16.5 cm, a stable base diameter of 8 cm, handles measuring 2.5 cm in width, and a solid weight of 1200 g. A highly decorative and fine collector's item, perfect for enriching a collection of exceptional Belgian pottery. Please study the photographic plates carefully as they form an essential part of the description. The item will be packaged with professional-grade materials and shipped with full tracking and traceability.
