Charles Catteau Octagon Stepped Art Deco Vase
Item #1623
Have you ever seen anything quite like this? Dynamic stepped up design, fabulous Deco detailing...and a series of small holes that can be perceived as just a part of the pattern...but then I I would love to see what creative arrangement a florist could make with this vase , by filling the tiny holes with branches, greens and flowers. Rendered in a beautiful matte finish with alternating solid and patterned panels , this is one of the most unusual shapes in our Boch Belgian Pottery Collection.
Charles Catteau "La Louviere" Hexagon Vase
Item #1622
Sometimes you just want to flip a vase over and check the bottom markings first! This one has wonderful signature and imprint that show it to be the work of Boch Pottery's chief designer and art director Charles Catteau during the "La Louviere" (the wolf) period of the 1920s. The name Keramis simply means "Ceramics" but the elegant script that spells out the name Ch. Catteau makes this piece one of exceptional value and style. The shape is quite unique, and the stepped up Deco design gives it extra dimension. This has the prized matte finish that is actually more rare than the highly glazed pieces.
Pair of Matching of Boch Freres Modernist Centerpiece bowls
Item #1280
Here is a classic modernist pedesta bowl by Boch. This is a wonderful design with all the earmarking of a very collectible piece. The piece has an austere turquoise and or chartreuse crackle finish, speed lines and stepped ridges all the way around. I am sure these solid color pieces will become the next very important collectible designs that were all developed under the tenure of Charles Catteau for the Boch factory.
Boch Frères Floral Cloisonné Vase
Item #1124
Here's a beautiful and large floral inspired Boch Frères cloisonné vase circa 1930s. The rim and the base of the vase are glazed a deep blue while the cloisonné treatment of the body enhances the vibrancy of and distinction between the colors. The back vertical bands with the aqua, blue and butterscotch vertical wave motif serve to frame the colorful floral design (colors of blue, turquoise, tan, light green, cream, white and red!) as well as optically elongate the vase. This large vase would make a stunning statement as a centerpiece or anywhere else in your home.
Rare Back and Gold Iridescent Boch Vase
Item #991
An extremely rare Boch piece. This is certainly a collectors piece, maybe the only one known to have been made in this color and size. The glaze is a rich shiny black with a gold iridescent haze spun deep into the color and finish. The piece stands 20" tall, a curiosity for sure, but commands the attention of not only a classic Boch shape, but also has a very modern point of view. Most likely produced between 1925-1930 under the leadership of Charles Catteau. Certainly completed during this great period of Boch Belgian pottery. This piece I believe is in a category all alone. Hopefully will find its way into the right collection.
