About the Item

Rare vintage studio pottery lamp features complex hand-painted decor on white ceramic or porcelain body. The design explores underwater environment with marine imagery used in all parts of decor. The main decor on the ceramic body is accented by two bands of abstract sgraffito designs, one on the top done in bright red on cobalt blue background, representing swimming fish, and the one on the bottom - in golden yellow on the same background, representing fish scales. The central part of the lamp depicts large fish swimming in green and blue waters; the soft, dream-like decor with Ukiyo-e references juxtaposes graphic, linear bands of sgraffito. Lightly textured drip glaze on fish and water elements adds texture and movement; limited use of sgraffito technique on fish silhouettes unifies the composition of the lamp, repeating both the colors and the techniques. The lamp is mounted on carved ebonized wood base with brass top; it is in fully operational, good vintage condition with beautiful, age-appropriate patina on the brass. The lamp is not signed; we saw a studio pottery vase with the similar decor, created in 1990s, but we were unable to identify the signature of the artist. The highly unusual piece with an evocative, expressive decor will complement various interior styles, from Modern to Organic Modern, Art Deco, or contemporary. Height to the top of the socket is 14"
