Note: Who was Belarti?
It is still not completely clear!
Many sellers confidently claim that these tiled coffee tables were created by a Belgian artist known as Juliette Belarti or Julien Belarti. It appears that this person does not exist. The name is a short anagram for " BELgian ARTIst" and was invented by Julien de Covemaeker (1927 - 2008), a ceramist who had a ceramics and furniture workshop in Ostend, Belgium.
To begin with, there are multiple indications of a production that is quite similar but with different signatures. Belarti is found in lowercase or uppercase (Belarti or BELARTI). Then, because different spellings seem to have been used, it is not improbable that several people or artists signed with this name. Sometimes "Belarti" turns more or less into "Bel Arti" or simply "Arti."
Besides, some pieces are signed "J. Belarti" and others "Belarti" alone or also "J. F. Belarti."
Also, productions signed by J. D'asti, Adri, or De Nisco have many similarities with the creations signed by Belarti. Finally, adding to the confusion, there are tables in Perignem, Belgium, with the same structure but whose ceramics are signed by Yves Rhayé.
However, many experts think Belarti is likely a generic name used by several artists for a typical ceramic production of the 1960s.
Thanks to Spacevintageretroblogspot, some interesting information was found on a page of the Belarti catalog from 1968. It is explained that Belarti was a limited liability company created in May 1968 in Mechelen, Belgium. The company was a grouping of several ceramicists.
Extracts of the catalog page (translation from the original Dutch language):
"And in May 1968, the N. V.* Belarti was founded, which enabled further development of what can be best described as a traditional production. Production is increasing, but everything is still handmade, and industrial counterfeiting is out of the question.
To take up artistic expansion, the manufacture of all kinds of original objects in earthenware, which started in 1962, was also used in 1969 by the n. v. Belarti.
Slowly but surely, foreign buyers are attracted by the originality and quality of Belarti creations. The studio has transformed into a company of international stature.
The small oven of pioneer times has turned into fully automatic equipment of bulky ovens.
Despite the rapid expansion and fame, we still have our first customers who remained loyal throughout the company's evolution and became true friends. Thanks to them, with their knowledge of sales, we are now able to present a renewed collection here in this catalog.
N. V. J. Belarti Mechelen - Belgium."
* The N.V. company is the Belgian equivalent of a public limited company, and the abbreviation comes from the Dutch name "Naamloze Vennootschap."
