This remarkable pair of mid-century ceramic lamps comes from the renowned pottery region of Vallauris in the south of France, renowned for its bold shapes and exuberant glazes.
Made around the 1950s, each lamp takes the form of a stylized seashell, hand-glazed in a glossy black with vibrant accents.
The interior reveals striking marine dioramas: one depicts a yellow angelfish and a seahorse, the other two goldfish swimming against a vibrant red glazed background. These whimsical underwater scenes are framed by shimmering gold borders, giving the pieces a theatrical, almost surreal feel.
Both lamps rest on green-glazed bases and feature lava-like flowing glaze details on the reverse—a Vallauris signature that captures the movement and spontaneity of mid-century French ceramics. Each piece is signed, confirming its artisanal origin and authenticity.
Attractive and rare, these lamps are sculptural works of art that will enhance any eclectic, coastal, or vintage-inspired interior.
