Finished in a deep black high-gloss glaze, the piece showcases strong Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern influences, with fluid lines, powerful symmetry, and a dramatic sense of movement.
The lamp’s surface is primarily a rich solid black, accented by lighter and slightly translucent areas along the upper contours of the horse heads. These tonal variations are intentional and original, created during the kiln-firing process through controlled glaze flow and thickness. This technique was commonly used by mid-century ceramic studios to add depth, texture, and visual complexity—these are not defects, but a desirable design feature.
The ceramic body rests on an integrated ribbed base and retains its original socket and cord. With its strong figurative presence, this lamp functions beautifully as a statement accent on a console, side table, or bookshelf, even when displayed without a shade.
Year of Manufacture: Circa 1950s–1960s.
