Product description
Vase Lamp from West German Pottery – Fat Lava with Woven Thread Shade | 45 cm
A striking, one-of-a-kind piece from the 1970s: This upcycled table lamp was created from an original West German Pottery handled vase with a distinctive Fat Lava glaze. The intense orange glaze with dark, raised dots is reminiscent of glowing lava. The bulbous shape with its two side handles is typical of ceramic design from this period and makes the vase a decorative eye-catcher even when unlit.
The combination with the modern lampshade is particularly captivating. The cylindrical shade is not covered with fabric in the traditional way, but rather crafted using an elaborate weaving technique. Fine, colored nylon threads are woven under tension around the shade. The semi-transparent construction creates a fascinating interplay of light when the lamp is switched on: The colors appear significantly more intense, while the light filters softly and atmospherically through the spaces in the weave. The interplay of orange, red, yellow, and green harmonizes beautifully with the vase's rich glaze, underscoring its 1970s character.
Like all Roomlight Studio lamps, this unique piece has been carefully converted into a table lamp. The vase retains its collector's value, as no drilling was required. The reversible plug-in solution allows for easy restoration to its original state. The lamp base is weighted for added stability.
