Vase-pitcher and its Art Deco display stand, Raymond Chevallier for Boch Frères

Charming fine earthenware set consisting of a small pitcher vase with a round body and its stand with scalloped edges, designed by Raymond Chevallier for the Boch Frères Keramis factory in La Louvière (Belgium). The hand-painted decoration features a scattering of stylised raspberry pink roses, small cobalt blue flowers with orange centres, gilded foliage, and red berries on a cream background. The lustrous brown neck, handle, and edges highlighted in gold contrast with the turquoise glazed interior, an elegant signature of Keramis production from the interwar period and post-war era. A decorative and refined piece, ideal as a soliflore, on a console, bedside table, or in a collector's display of Belgian ceramics. Printed mark under the base: "BOCH – La Louvière – Made in Belgium – Fabrication Belge", with painter's mark. Dimensions. Height: 17 cm – Width: 14 cm. Condition. Good vintage condition. Wear to the gilding on the neck, handle, and edges of the stand, consistent with age. Slight crazing and small signs of use on the base. No apparent chips or cracks.
