Product description
Price for lamp including shade
This unique accent lamp is based on an original Jasba relief vase from the 1960s/70s. The series, with its distinctive knobby texture, is among the most iconic designs of West German Pottery. This particular version in glossy white and with this bulbous shape is especially rare.
The vase has a softly rounded silhouette with a delicate handle and a dense relief of small "strawberry knobs" that create an exceptionally vibrant surface when illuminated. The glossy white glaze gives the form a modern yet sculptural appearance.
Dimensions:
Vase: 18 cm high
Lamp overall: approx. 41 cm high
Lampshade: 23 cm diameter, 22 cm height
Lampshade:
The lampshade is covered with high-quality Japanese thread paper. The organic, almost graphic black and white structure creates a highly contrasting and atmospheric light pattern when the lamp is switched on. Depending on the perspective, the lampshade's effect shifts between graphic clarity and an almost shadow-like depth. The minimalist design harmonizes particularly well with the vase's textured surface.
Technical details – two options available:
The lamp can be supplied either wirelessly or with a classic cable.
• Wireless option:
Operates via a rechargeable LED bulb with USB-C. Provides up to 12 hours of light. Dimmable via remote control, with multiple color temperatures. Ideal for flexible lighting arrangements without a direct power connection – also suitable for balconies or patios. The bulb, remote control, and cable are included.
• Cable option:
Classic E27 socket in black, transparent cable, rocker switch, and Europlug. Since no drilling is required, the cable is inserted directly into the socket from the back.
Conversion to a lamp (gentle on the vase):
The vase has been converted into a lamp without altering the ceramic. No drilling is required, the design is reversible, and the vase is securely weighted. The vase's original condition is preserved.
An exceptional mid-century piece with an almost Scandinavian clarity and strong graphic impact. It looks especially beautiful as a set: A smaller, color-coordinated companion lamp is also available here at Whoppah.
