In impeccable condition, without defects!
Dimensions: Height: 27 cm
Diameter: 14 cm
Opening at the top 6 cm
Base: 7 cm
Weight: 1019 g
Decor nr: 1847
Form nr: 806
Overall condition: very good, with no cracks or chips.
Elegant, globular vase of finely glazed earthenware, designed by Charles Catteau for the Belgian manufacturer Boch Frères Keramis in La Louvière – an iconic example of European Art Deco design.
.
This model, designated with reference number D1847, features a rich, stylized floral decoration that is characteristic of Catteau’s language of form: geometric flowers, elongated foliage and plant motifs, rhythmically outlined in dark brown.
The color palette harmoniously combines deep green, ochre, yellow and brown tones against a creamy background with a subtle craquelé effect; a refined contrast typical of Keramis creations from the 1925-1935 period.
The perfectly balanced, egg-shaped body is accented by a cylindrical neck with a dark brown glaze.
The decoration runs over the entire surface of the vase, creating a particularly decorative, panoramic effect.
At the bottom are the reference number D1847 and the Keramis factory marks. This model is included in the documentation on Charles Catteau’s oeuvre.
