Ceramic charger plate titled 'The Hunt' by Royal Sphinx Boch, Belgium
History
Royal Sphinx Boch was a renowned Belgian ceramics manufacturer established in the late 19th century, known for producing high-quality Delft-style earthenware. This decorative charger features a traditional blue and white hunting scene with deer and woodland landscape, reflecting the Dutch Delftware tradition that Boch emulated in their Belgian production. These large display plates were produced primarily in the mid-20th century as decorative wall hangings rather than functional dinnerware. These chargers appeal to collectors of European ceramics, particularly those interested in Delftware and Belgian pottery traditions. The hunting scene motif resonates with enthusiasts of sporting art and traditional European decorative arts. Royal Sphinx Boch pieces are valued for their craftsmanship, historical significance as examples of Belgian ceramic artistry, and their aesthetic appeal as striking blue and white decorative objects that complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.
