Rare Czech Mid-Century Modern table lamp designed by Jaroslav Anýž and produced by Lustry, Kamenický Šenov, Czechoslovakia, circa 1950s.
The lamp features an elegant black ceramic base manufactured by Ditmar Urbach, a slender steel stem, and an original milk-glass shade with a softly organic form. The combination of ceramic, metal, and opaline glass reflects the sophisticated material language that defined post-war Czechoslovak design.
Jaroslav Anýž continued the legacy of the renowned Anýž family of metalworkers and lighting makers, creating designs that balanced functionalist principles with refined craftsmanship. Today, his lighting pieces are increasingly sought after by collectors of Central European modernism.
A beautiful and increasingly rare example of authentic Czech mid-century lighting, suitable as a bedside lamp, desk lamp, or decorative accent in both contemporary and vintage interiors.
The lamp remains in very good vintage condition and is fully functional. The milk-glass shade shows only minor age-related wear along the edges, with a small crack barely noticeable in everyday use. The ceramic base and metal elements display a light, even patina consistent with age. All components are original.
