Description from the seller
Refined and highly symbolic rectangular ceramic box from the famous Belgian manufacturer Boch Frères La Louvière (Keramis). Dating from the late Art Deco period, circa 1938, this piece features the highly sought-after two-tone décor referenced under archive number "D.2329," designed by the studio of legendary master ceramicist Charles Catteau. The lid showcases a superb, hand-painted stylized graphic depicting an elegant nude dancer waving her veils, a fluid and dynamic artwork paying direct tribute to Roaring Twenties icons like Isadora Duncan or Joséphine Baker (perfect for bringing a sense of freedom and rhythm into your home). The design contours and shading are beautifully highlighted in a brushed brown and gold glaze, contrasting with the soft, creamy background enamel. Stamped with the "Made in Belgium" mark under the base alongside the handwritten décor reference, the box is in exceptional, near-perfect vintage condition, free of cracks or chips, and retains the full freshness of its original glaze. Regarding specifications, it measures 13.5 cm in length, 10 cm in width, stands 4 cm tall, and has a solid weight of 500 g. A rare and elegant collector's item, essential for enthusiasts of Catteau's work and interwar modernist iconography. Please study the detailed photographs carefully to verify the quality of this lot. The item will be packed using professional-grade protective materials and shipped with full track and trace tracking.
