The “Ären-plateel” is a type of Belgian decorative ceramic from the 1930s, produced by the Brussels Ceramics manufacture in Haren (near Brussels). This earthenware is renowned for its stylized, colorful floral motifs, characteristic of the famous “Gouda style,” and often bears the marks “C.B.” (Céramique de Bruxelles) and “Ären.” Characteristics and origin: produced in Haren (“Ären” being the local name for Haren) by Céramiques de Bruxelles. Style: closely related to and inspired by Dutch Gouda ceramics as well as by works from Belgian manufactories such as La Céramique Montoise (Mons). Décor: hand-painted, with polychrome enamels in bright colors depicting floral or geometric motifs. Marks: signature placed under the piece, indicating “C.B.” and/or “Ären-plateel.”
