A charming belgian Art Déco vase that reflects the distinctive style of ceramicist Charles Catteau. Created by Boch Freres Keramis circa 1920, it features Catteau's emblematic tulips with vibrant orange and cobalt blue petals against a crackled turquoise background. The clean lines and geometric forms epitomize the sleek modernism of the Art Déco aesthetic.

As a pioneer credited with bringing decorative ceramics into the 20th century avant-garde, Catteau embraced rich colors and angular contours that broke from tradition. This rare example captures his virtuosity in clay with its eye-catching glazed palette and sculptural presence. Though unsigned, the vase clearly exhibits Catteau’s visionary approach that would influence a generation of designers. less
