About the Item

Large, substantial and visually stunning, this unique Art Deco low bowl -- designed to hang on a wall or sit on a table -- features the twelve Zodiac symbols, beautifully designed and executed by Belgian artist Ernest d'Hossche. d'Hossche worked for many years at the Boch ceramic company, which employed hundreds of workers at its two locations -- La Louvière (Keramis) and Tournai (Boch Freres). Later he went on to serve as head designer for the firm, producing many superb pieces, including a modern series of dishes premiered at the Brussels World's fair in 1958, the first fair of its kind after World War II. The piece is fully marked and signed on the bottom.
