Pair Large Blue and White Boch Frères Delft Jars Hand Painted Circa 1922
$2,200.00This pair of large blue and white Delft jars was hand painted by Boch Frères Keramis at La Louvière, Belgium, circa 1922.
Each jar is hand painted in rich cobalt blue on a white tin-glazed ground. The body is divided into four large panels: two show a peacock among flowering plants, while the other two contain vases overflowing with flowers.
The shoulders and covers continue the decoration with floral panels separated by a finely painted geometric diaper pattern. The tall domed covers are finished with distinctive bird-form finials.
The jars belong firmly to the decorative tradition of Dutch Delft, which was an important influence on the wares produced by Boch Frères.
Belgium had been part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands until the Belgian Revolution of 1830. Boch established its Belgian pottery at La Louvière in 1841, and Boch Frères began production there in 1844. The factory became particularly known for wares inspired by Dutch Delft, and its quality was recognized almost immediately with a medal at the Brussels exhibition of 1847.
The underside of each jar bears the Boch Frères Keramis factory mark, from which we date the pair to circa 1922.
Their large scale, rich cobalt decoration, and unusual bird-form finials give the pair considerable decorative presence on a console, sideboard, or mantel.Dimensions: Height 16.5″ x diameter at widest point 8.5″ x diameter at base 5″
Condition: Excellent
Price: $2,200
