Lot 29: Large Mid-Century Modern Fat Lava Style Ceramic Table Lamp with Botanical Shade

A substantial ceramic table lamp of bulbous form, featuring a pierced openwork neck and twin scrolled handles. The base is finished in a heavily textured fat lava style glaze, presenting mottled shades of brown and charcoal grey with vibrant orange highlights. It is paired with a tall, tapered drum shade decorated with a botanical pattern of leaves and blossoms in tones of brown, beige, and pink. The lamp is fitted with a white electrical cable featuring an inline rocker switch and a UK-style plug. The aesthetic and manufacturing technique are strongly associated with 1960s West German art pottery.
