Vintage Hubert Bequet Quaregnon Belgian Hand-Painted Art Pottery Vase
A large and striking vintage Belgian art pottery vase by Hubert Bequet of Quaregnon, dating to approximately the 1950s–1960s.
Standing an impressive 37cm tall, the vase features a beautifully hand-painted stylised exotic bird surrounded by foliage and floral decoration, set against a soft pale celadon/sea-green ground.
The decoration is particularly attractive, with raised and textured painted details complemented by extensive gilt work. Black and gold geometric borders around the asymmetric rim and pedestal base give the piece a strong Mid-Century / Art Deco Revival character.
A substantial and highly decorative piece of Belgian pottery which displays particularly well from the bird-decorated side.
The underside retains the Made in Belgium / Quaregnon factory mark together with model number 673

Condition:
Very good vintage condition overall. There is age-related wear to areas of the gilt decoration together with minor surface wear consistent with age. There is also a short fine hairline mark immediately below the upper rim, which has been photographed clearly for reference. No major chips or restoration noted.
Please study all photographs carefully as these form an important part of the description and show the condition and hand-painted decoration in detail.
A fabulous large-format example of mid-century Belgian decorative art pottery and an unusual statement piece for a vintage, Art Deco Revival or eclectic interior.
