Pair of Antique Table Lamps from Delft Boch Frères Keramis Vases, Chinoiserie – Goudvink & Puttertje
Transform any room with these exquisite table lamps, a true testament to art and history combined. Each lamp is skillfully crafted from antique Boch Frères Keramis vases, dating from 1872 to 1900, and features vibrant, unique Chinoiserie designs typical of the Delft Polychrome style. These designs were meticulously hand-painted by Dutch painters recruited by Victor Boch himself for the “la Chambre des peintres hollandais” (The Dutch Painter’s Chamber), bridging the traditional Delft techniques with Boch's innovative ceramic craftsmanship.
The lamps stand at 57 cm tall and 28 cm wide, paired with custom, contemporary lampshades in soft, sunny yellow satin—handmade in an atelier near Amsterdam. This warm shade beautifully complements the intricate colors and patterns of the vases, adding a touch of elegance and refinement to any space.
Amitābha Studio has taken great care to preserve the integrity of each original vase. Special measures, such as routing the cord through the neck of the lamp instead of drilling through the vase, ensure that their historical value remains intact.
Named “Goudvink” and “Puttertje” after beloved yellow birds in Dutch culture, these lamps bring a touch of heritage and sophistication, making them perfect statement pieces for any home.

Around 1874, in the light of the growing interest of collectors of old faience pieces, Victor Boch, of the newly founded Boch Frères Keramis in Belgium, recruited Dutch painters from Maastricht, including some who had already gained experience working in Delft potteries. These Dutch faience painters brought along their knowledge, experience and know-how with them. Thanks to their collaboration, the working methods of the past were rediscovered and applied to a different clay than was used by the original Delft ceramicists.
The luxury faience from Boch was decorated with hand-painted Delft decor, which became a specialty of the manufacturer under the name “la Chambre des peintres hollandaise” recognizable by a hand painted signature of the interlaced letters “B, F, K“ (Boch Frères Keramis) on the bottom of the pieces as seen on this vase, now lamp!
“Boch Frères Keramis was founded in 1841 by Eugène and Victor Boch and their brother-in-law, Jean-Baptiste Nothomb, in La Louviere, Belgium. Decades later in 1906, French ceramicist Charles Catteau joined the company as artistic director, a position he held for 42 years. His signature Art Deco designs were influenced by Japonisme, Cubism, and abstraction of nature, and he was ultimately responsible for the company’s transition from producing utilitarian objects to esteemed works of art. Boch Frères Keramis closed down in 1985, and though they were acquired by other companies afterward, they closed permanently in 2009.” —from Artnet
