These Charles Catteau Keramis Art Deco vases are a striking example of Belgian Art Deco ceramic design from the early 1920s.

The vases feature a stylised floral composition executed in vibrant turquoise, blue, yellow and white crackled ceramic glaze. The bold geometric structure and decorative rhythm reflect the innovative aesthetic characteristic of the Art Deco movement.

The decor was designed by Charles Catteau, the renowned artistic director of Keramis, the famous Belgian ceramic manufacturer. Catteau is internationally recognised for his modern decorative ceramics produced during the interwar period.

The vase is marked Keramis and numbered D704 for the decor.

Executed in richly coloured crackled ceramic, the vase demonstrates the refined craftsmanship and artistic experimentation typical of Belgian Art Deco ceramics of the 1920s.

Objects such as this were originally produced as decorative art pieces for modern interiors. Today they are highly sought after by collectors of Art Deco ceramics and Belgian decorative arts.
