Sublime lidded box covered in brown earthenware, a major piece of artistic craftsmanship from the Namur production of the 1950s/1960s. This collectible work is attributed to the aesthetic research of Yvette Manoy (1929-2018), an emblematic figure of 20th-century Walloon ceramics. The removable lid features careful champlevé enamel work: powerful black contours isolate intense colored cells (golden yellow, cobalt blue, and turquoise), standing out against the famous milky white glaze characteristic of the Namur school. The body and base of the box are dressed in a deep black manganese glaze.
The underside reveals the artist's official monogram "YM" surmounting her mold and workshop model number "395". Characteristics: • Dimensions: 10 cm in diameter X 5 cm in height. • Material: Glazed brown earthenware. • Markings: Initials YM + number 395 engraved on the back. • Condition: Excellent vintage condition, no cracks, no chips. A beautiful display object, graphic and precious, ideal for discerning collectors of Mid-Century Belgian design. Professionally ultra-secure shipping guaranteed. L: 10 l: 10 H: 5
