This impressive floor lamp was created from an original handled vase by the German manufacturer AK Keramik (Alfred Klein). The vase bears the typical "Klein" mark on the base and is an authentic piece of West German Pottery from the 1960s/70s – crafted in classic studio ceramic quality with a characteristic relief surface and harmonious glaze.
Why AK Keramik / Alfred Klein?
The "Klein" mark on the base most likely indicates Alfred Klein or AK Keramik – a small but well-documented manufacturer within the West German Pottery community. Typical features include handcrafted relief forms, vibrant glazes, and individual details. AK Keramik pieces are increasingly valued by collectors and design enthusiasts today.
Style & Impact
The vase has a sculptural quality and a warm interplay of colors. Together with the chosen lampshade, it creates a striking object for a bold room design – ideal for large living rooms, hallways, or as a focal point next to a sofa, shelf, or sideboard.
... Construction & Technology
This lamp features a classic wired connection and a clean, robust construction. No holes were drilled. Thanks to a custom-designed plug-in solution with a brass cap, the socket sits securely over the opening and holds the large shade.
The cable connects directly to the socket from the back – discreetly.
Lampshade & Lighting Effect
The cylindrical shade has a diameter of approximately 30 cm and is covered with a high-quality decorative fabric in a warm, graphic pattern. The light is a warm white, soft, and harmonious, perfectly complementing the lamp's overall look.
