The central figure represents a stylized heron with sinuous lines, modeled in pearlescent glazed ceramic with iridescent reflections that vary between shades of petroleum, indigo blue, violet, and emerald, depending on the light.

the bird stands on a circular base of polished gold-plated brass, from which two metal arms emerge in the shape of plant stems, framing the composition with a delicate upward movement. At its ends are two satin-finished frosted glass shades, cut in the shape of a caladium or anthurium leaf, decorated with symmetrical linear engraving that acts as a light diffuser and a modernist graphic accent.

under the brass coating, a visible artisanal mark in the form of an x incised into the white ceramic base is preserved, a typical element of limited productions or workshops without an explicit signature, but of careful workmanship.

the electrical system is original from the period: the bakelite switch is vde-approved (germany) with a triangular-in-a-circle seal and a "2a 250v~" specification, certifying that it complies with european safety regulations from the 1970s and 1980s. The slotted screws and black thermoset plastic show a patina of use, guaranteeing its vintage authenticity.

a genuine lamp with sculptural and botanical inspiration, ideal for eclectic settings, interiors with a late art deco influence, or contemporary spaces with an artistic accent. Not restored or modified, it retains all its original components. A decorative piece with a strong aesthetic presence and high collectible value.
