Keramis Boch - Charles Catteau - Vase - 914 - Earthenware - Vase BFK Catteau XL

NO RESERVE

Here is a centerpiece for collectors of Belgian ceramic. This splendid ovoid earthenware vase comes from the Atelier de Fantaisie of the famous Boch Frères Keramis factory in La Louvière. It features the highly collectible D2505 pattern on the large shape 914, a design deeply connected to the Charles Catteau era, showcasing stylized flowers and autumn foliage in warm matte glazes of brown, orange, and black. Standing at an impressive 34 centimeters tall with a maximum diameter of 20 centimeters, a top diameter of 13.5 centimeters, and a solid weight of 2250 grams, this vase is definitely not the type to get lost on a shelf. It commands attention and will probably require a fairly sturdy coffee table to call home. The base bears all the crucial official markings that confirm its heritage, including the impressed and hand-painted BFK, 914, and D2505 codes, as well as the unique handwritten monogram of the workshop artisan. The overall condition is very good for a centenarian. Having successfully survived a full century of history, it only shows some minor, expected surface wear. This includes very light and discreet scuffs on the upper body and a small patch of minor wear on the top rim of the neck, both clearly shown in the close-up photos. These tiny flaws give it a beautiful and authentic patina, and there is no major damage or cracks to report. Shipping will be handled with professional care, using heavy-duty and secure packaging tailored to the item's weight and historical value.
