Pair of Large Majolica Vases c.1870

Spectacular pair of large majolica vases or epergne by the Belgian pottery makers Boch Freres Keramis c.1870. Probably intended as decoration for the centre of a grand dining table holding fruit or seafood perhaps. 10" diameter bowls modelled as scallop shells supported by a pair of Classical putti with fishes tails. The bases modelled as rocks with leaves and rushes and surrounded by water. Bright hand painted colouring and majolica glaze. Impressed marks for Boch Freres Keramis to the underside. Presented as found in excellent original condition.
