This striking example showcases Ekberg’s signature sgraffito technique, rendered in a rich plum glaze with iridescent undertones and finely detailed gilded accents. The elegant, fluted form rises from a gently scalloped base with a decorative gilt border, giving the piece a strong sculptural presence and refined verticality. The lamp retains its original pleated silk shade in a soft rose hue, beautifully complemented by intricate gold trim and tassel fringe. When illuminated, the shade emits a warm, ambient glow that enhances the depth and texture of the ceramic body, creating a harmonious and atmospheric effect. Signed and dated to the underside with Gustavsberg factory mark and “1928,” this is a highly collectible example of Swedish Art Deco craftsmanship, combining artistic innovation with timeless decorative appeal.
