Charles Catteau Vase

Charles Catteau Vase

Art Deco vase by Boch Frères Keramis, designed by Charles Catteau, bursts with stylized energy and modernist flair. Bold spiral motifs in cobalt blue, ivory, and lavender radiate from a central medallion, offset by vertical banding in layered peach and ochre glaze. The background has a marbled, semi-fluid surface texture, giving the piece a painterly depth rarely seen in early 20th-century ceramics. Finished with a high-gloss glaze and rich palette, the vase demonstrates Catteau’s masterful balance of graphic abstraction and decorative richness.

Created in Belgium during the early 1930s, this signed Charles Catteau vase reflects the artist’s fascination with stylized nature and rhythmic patterns. A fine example of ceramic design from the height of the Art Deco era, it combines vibrant colorwork with a distinctive hand-painted style. Available now from the Art Deco Collection, this piece is ideal for collectors seeking unique Boch Frères Art Deco ceramics for sale or those curating visually striking, period-authentic interiors.
