Typical Bodo Mans design for the ceramic manufacturer Eduard Bay Keramik, 1960s, Brutalist style, polished ceramic in shades of gray with beautiful flower stars as a relief pattern.
Dimensions: The smaller vase lamp is 30 cm high without the socket, 38 cm with the socket, 17 cm in diameter at the widest point, very good condition. Stamped on the base with the manufacturer's identification and model number: Bay 62 30. The larger vase lamp is 41 cm high without the socket, 49 cm with the socket, 19 cm in diameter, weight 2.1 kg, minor repair on the spout, otherwise very good condition. Stamped on the base with the manufacturer's identification and model number: Bay 63 40.

The two openings of the vases are closed with a high-quality brass plate and anchored in the vase with a special plug-in solution. No holes were drilled into the collectibles; the vases remain in perfect condition. The socket is also brass-colored and comes with matching cables (with plug and rocker switch), which lead directly into the E27 sockets via a so-called outlet sleeve. Everything was installed and tested by an electrician. The lamps can be placed on a table, sideboard, or occasional table as an eye-catcher, creating a beautiful room atmosphere.

The lampshades are rolled drum shades covered with Japanese cotton fabric. The pattern is somewhat reminiscent of the Finnish Marimekko style, but is very typical of modern Japanese floral fabric patterns. The smaller lamp is in black/white/gray (30 cm diameter), and the larger lamp also has blue/green (35 cm diameter). The larger lamp is almost 90 cm tall. This piece has an attribution mark,
