The Classic Cobalt Ewer: Features a minimalist, elegant gold scroll design over a deep, solid cobalt blue ground. Both pieces feature Béquet's signature textured geometric basketweave base and highly stylized, gilded bamboo-scrolled handles. The bottoms bear the impressed model mold number "271" and the classic gold foil-style factory shield stamp reading "Made in Belgium - H. Béquet Quaregnon". Condition Report (Please Read Before Bidding): We believe in full transparency so you can bid with absolute confidence: Floral Ewer: Excellent vintage condition. The spouts, rims, and base are crisp with no chips or cracks. The seam line at the upper handle attachment is a natural factory firing artifact from production, structurally sound, and fully intact. Solid Cobalt Ewer: Beautiful cosmetic presentation from the front, but features an old home repair on the upper handle. The handle has a clean break across the top bamboo rib that has been glued back together, with some visible vintage glue residue near the fracture line and upper scroll joint. The handle holds securely for display purposes, but the piece should be handled with care. General Wear: Both pieces show minor, age-appropriate shelf wear on the unglazed bottom rims and very minimal rubbing to the gold gilt. Selling as a decorative pair, as-is.
