Uncommon, antique lamp base that can serve as a large candlestick or be rewired, made of glazed terracotta with a metallic black enamel finish, handcrafted in Biot, with an impressed mark under the handle, difficult to read but identifiable. A vintage French piece from the 1960s. Slender shape with a wide circular base, a top cup, and a rounded side handle, giving it a very graphic and decorative silhouette.
Impressive presence, 32cm high, 24cm diameter base, 9cm diameter stem, 2.5cm central opening allowing the use of a taper or larger candle in the cup. In good used condition, with several chips in the enamel around the stem, some more recent than others; some have darkened, one more pronounced chip of about 6mm is more visible as it is not darkened. There are also small marks and scratches from use, as well as a discreet hairline crack at the neck, which does not weaken the piece. Overall, it remains aesthetically pleasing and harmonious. Approximately 1.700 kg.
