The sculptural, 15-pound ceramic base embodies both function and form — a work of art as much as a source of light.

This piece retains its original factory-felt base, which was carefully peeled back to reveal authenticity markings — a sequence of faint, hand-stamped production and lot numbers visible only under magnification. A magnifier is shown in one photo to highlight these delicate maker’s numbers, verifying its mid-century European studio origin and confirming this lamp as an authentic collectible rather than a reproduction.

Featuring its original cord and plug in excellent working order, the lamp reflects the craftsmanship and integrity of postwar European design. Its weight, hand-painting, and textured glaze surface all speak to small-batch artisan production likely originating from Italy or Spain and imported to the United States during the 1950s.
