This ceramic table lamp is a distinctive work by the English artist and potter Bernard Rooke, produced during the 1960s. The piece exemplifies the sculptural approach to lighting that defined British studio pottery of the era, offering a compelling blend of functional object and expressive art.
Constructed from stoneware, the lamp features a substantial, disc-shaped base adorned with high-relief, abstract geometric motifs. The textured surface and earthy beige and brown tones are characteristic of Rooke's brutalist-inspired aesthetic. The lamp is presented with a pleated fabric shade that complements the organic nature of the ceramic base. The piece was manufactured in England, reflecting the robust craftsmanship of the period.
The lamp remains in good condition, consistent with its age and history of use. The ceramic base retains its original textural integrity and earthy patina, showcasing the hand-built nature of the design. The electrical components appear intact, though standard verification is recommended for vintage lighting.
This Bernard Rooke lamp serves as a striking focal point in both mid-century modern and contemporary interiors. Its sculptural presence pairs exceptionally well with natural wood furniture and textured textiles, bringing a sense of grounded, artisanal character to a living space or study.
ATTENTION: shade is not included. For sale is only a base. Shade can be easily acquired depending on your style and wish.
