Royal Boch Delft Polychrome Table Lamps (c 1968–1975) Lavender Velvet Shades
About the Item
Lovingly handcrafted by Amitābha Studio in Amsterdam from a pair of vintage Royal Boch Delft Polychrome vases (circa 1968–1975), these one-of-a-kind table lamps celebrate the rich tradition of European faience with a vibrant mid-century twist. Each vase features a classic baluster form, hand-painted in a deeply saturated cobalt blue with a subtly purplish undertone — the dominant color that anchors the overall palette. Within baroque cartouches and floral bands, artisans painted expressive botanical motifs in shades of terracotta orange, sunny ochre, leafy green, and soft plum, all outlined in dark cobalt to heighten contrast and movement.
These vases bear the mark “Polychrome Boch Belgium – Handworked,” Royal Boch’s term for its hand-painted decorative wares. The visible brushwork and minor variations in each motif confirm their artisanal origin, preserving the expressive quality that distinguished mid-century faience from mass-produced ceramics. Produced during a period when Royal Boch sought to revive 17th-century ceramic aesthetics for modern interiors, these pieces blend historical reference with the boldness of Belgian mid-century design.
The ceramic bases are paired with custom lavender velvet lampshades, handcrafted in a local atelier near Amsterdam and finished with matching fabric-covered cords. The soft matte sheen of the velvet adds an elegant, contemporary counterpoint to the richly patterned glaze below, while its tone subtly echoes the purplish hues in the cobalt and floral accents — creating a harmonious, layered color story.
These lamps are ideal for interiors that appreciate decorative boldness rooted in craft and heritage. Perfect for a Paris-style apartment layered with art and antiques, a Grandmillennial home filled with florals and vintage finds, or a richly textured Eclectic interior where pattern, color, and story come together. Their visual weight and color saturation also make them striking accents in more minimalist or contemporary settings.
The lamps were created without harming the original vases in any way.

About the Maker:
Founded in 1841 in La Louvière, Belgium, Royal Boch became one of Europe’s premier producers of faience and Delft-style ceramics. Throughout the 20th century, the company balanced historical revival with decorative innovation, producing hand-painted wares that honored 17th-century Dutch and Flemish design while appealing to modern tastes. Pieces marked “Handworked” reflect the company’s commitment to artisanal brushwork and quality glaze application. During the 1960s and ’70s, Royal Boch reissued several polychrome series designed for the decorative market — bold, colorful, and deeply rooted in the tradition of European ceramic artistry.
