In full working order and ready for use. New socket, new wiring and U.S. plug on request.

This ceramic table lamp was produced in Manises, Valencia during the 1960s, a region long celebrated for its ceramic tradition and expressive glazes. The lamp features a generously proportioned baluster form with softly fluted sides, centered by a raised foliate cartouche that adds subtle relief and classical character to the silhouette.

The surface is finished in a deep chocolate-brown glaze with natural tonal variation and a high gloss that accentuates the sculptural modeling of the form. Vertical striations in the body catch the light beautifully, giving the lamp visual depth and a strong sense of material presence. The base is grounded by a gilt-toned foot, providing a warm contrast to the dark glaze and lending the piece a refined, decorative finish.

The lamp has been thoroughly cleaned, professionally rewired, and fitted with a new pleated silk lampshade in an off-white tone, chosen to complement the richness of the ceramic while keeping the overall look timeless and versatile.
