Product description
Boch Frères Keralux Art Deco Vase by Charles Catteau – Belgium, ca. 1925–1930
A striking Art Deco vase produced by Boch Frères Keramis in the celebrated Keralux line and designed by the renowned Belgian artist Charles Catteau. The bold floral decoration, executed in vibrant cobalt blue, yellow, and turquoise tones against a soft ivory ground, perfectly illustrates Catteau’s distinctive artistic language—stylized nature transformed into powerful geometric ornament.
Charles Catteau (1880–1966) is widely regarded as one of the most influential ceramic designers of the Art Deco period. As artistic director at Boch Frères, he created hundreds of innovative models that helped define Belgian decorative arts between the wars. His designs achieved international recognition and were exhibited worldwide, while his work continues to be highly sought after by collectors today. The present vase is a beautiful example of his ability to combine strong decorative impact with elegant form, making it both a representative piece of Art Deco design and a timeless decorative object.
Founded in 1841 in La Louvière, Boch Frères Keramis became one of the most important ceramic manufacturers in Europe and a leading force in Belgian Art Deco design. Under the artistic direction of Charles Catteau, the factory achieved international acclaim for its innovative forms, vibrant enamels, and distinctive decorative motifs. Today, Keralux and Keramis pieces are among the most recognizable and collectible examples of Belgian Art Deco ceramics, admired for their artistic quality, technical excellence, and enduring decorative appeal.
The vase remains in very good condition, with only minor signs of age and use consistent with its period. A highly decorative and collectible piece by one of the great masters of European Art Deco ceramics.
