Each lamp is impressed with the manufacturer’s mark and model number 1067 on the underside of the base.

The stoneware bases feature a striking two-tier form: a wide, flared cap flares out like a saucer above a shorter cylindrical drum base, giving the lamps a bold, architectural presence. The glossy glaze displays Søholm’s signature palette of deep cobalt and indigo blues, with rich plum and chestnut pooling around the cap and neck, fading into subtle greenish undertones toward the foot of the base. These hues flow together fluidly, creating a layered gradient effect that shifts beautifully with the light. The lamps are complemented by new conical shades in a neutral, ivory fabric. Their tall, minimalist silhouette provides a refined contrast to the expressive ceramic bases.

Each lamp has been rewired and fitted with a standard E26/E27 bulb socket and a 220V European plug. Both are in very good condition, with new shades and updated wiring.
