ANTQ BOCH FRERES KERAMIS BELGIUM NEOCLASSICAL LARGE PITCHER BASIN WASH STAND SET

Description: A little history lesson first, courtesy of ArtNet.com ... Boch Frères Keramis Co. was a Belgian ceramic company known for their Cloisonné techniques, early 20th-century Art Deco styles, and use of black outlined designs. The company’s name, “Keramis,” was derived from keramos, the ancient Greek word for pottery. Boch Frères Keramis was founded in 1841 by Eugène and Victor Boch and their brother-in-law, Jean-Baptiste Nothomb, in La Louviere, Belgium. Decades later in 1906, French ceramicist Charles Catteau joined the company as artistic director, a position he held for 42 years. His signature Art Deco designs were influenced by Japonisme, Cubism, and abstraction of nature, and he was ultimately responsible for the company’s transition from producing utilitarian objects to esteemed works of art. Boch Frères Keramis closed down in 1985, and though they were acquired by other companies afterward, they closed permanently in 2009. And now on to this listing . . . This listing is for a stunningly beautiful large ironstone washstand set by Boch Freres Keramis. The mark on the bottom of the pitcher was used by the company from 1880 to 1920. The cream colored background is decorated with a neoclassical medallion and laurel leaf design done in rich burgundy and gold. Basin measures 16 1/2" in diameter and stands about 8" tall. Pitcher measures about 13 1/4" tall up to the tallest point, which is at the side of the spout. No chips, cracks, or unusual wear on the pitcher. The basin has a repair on the outside of the rim. (It looks like there was a shallow chip off of the finish, and someone glued the fleck back on and tried to paint over it). Because the rim flares out slightly, the repair is sort of tucked under the rim and isn't noticeable. I have included a close up photo of the repair under the rim, as well as a photo of the topside of the rim in that area. It's very rare to find a set this old still together, and also in such fabulous condition. An absolutely lovely set. If you are a collector of antique washstand sets, antique Boch Freres Keramis pieces, or you're just looking for a striking piece to add to your home, this is a must-have for you. Will be packed with care and shipped with GOBS of packing material. This ironstone set is a weighty work of art. Because shipping will likely require a heavy and/or oversized box, I have given you multiple shipping options so you can select the one that is cheapest or fastest for you, depending on your priorities. I am listing many other items on eBay, including other pieces of antique pottery and washstand sets. So please check my other listings, as I will be happy to combine shipping. I do not accept returns. Please examine the description and photos carefully, and ask questions if you are unsure. ABSOLUTELY NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES!
