Within the world of decorative arts, ceramics are amongst my favorites items. I also love decorative light fixtures (versus built-in lighting, like canisters and recessed fixtures). Light fixtures are like the "jewelry" which decorates a beautiful room. So, for me, this Mid-Century Modernist lamp tics two boxes at once.
This large ceramic "vessel" is finished with an organic, dripping "honey and mustard" glazing. Though of simple form, the large size—and the interesting glazes—elevate the lamp to the realm of "statement piece."
We show it, above, with a tan, stubby silk shade. This tends to bring-out the Arts & Crafts personality of the lamp. With a different shade—perhaps a cylindrical "drum" shade—the lamp's Modernist roots would resonate more strongly. Click on one of the photos above to learn ore about this handsome lamp.
More handsome lighting tomorrow and in the days to come.
