H. Bequet - Tazza - Ceramic

Vintage faience coupe/tazza dish from the well-known Belgian earthenware manufacturer Hubert Bequet (Quaregnon), made in the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1960s). This tazza combines the classic Delft blue style with the luxurious look of the Hollywood Regency era. The interior of the bowl is hand-painted with a detailed floral motif and the upper leaves are in bas-relief with a central peacock. The most striking feature is the two symmetrical, sculptural handles shaped like dragon-snakes. The dish sits on an elegant, slender foot and the edges are refined with a gold trim.
