Product description
RARE MID-CENTURY STONEWARE TABLE LAMP BY PIETER GROENEVELDT (1889–1982)
A Sculptural Ceramic Masterpiece of Dutch Design
This rare and striking table lamp is attributed to renowned Dutch ceramist Pieter Groeneveldt, a key figure in 20th-century ceramic art. Crafted in stoneware, the design showcases a compelling interplay of geometric forms—a rectangular base punctuated with varied openings, seamlessly transitioning into a rounded, organic upper body.
The richly textured orange-brown glaze, layered with deep, earthy tones, gives the piece a warm and tactile presence, highlighting Groeneveldt’s signature balance between earthy materiality and refined modernist aesthetics.
The lamp retains its original woolen lampshade, adding to its authentic mid-century character. While unmarked, its attribution to Groeneveldt has been confirmed by experts associated with the Pieter Groeneveldt Project, who identified a directly related floor lamp version in their extensive research.
A rare opportunity to own a functional artwork by one of the Netherlands’ most celebrated ceramic artists. This lamp stands as a testament to Dutch modernism, perfectly bridging the worlds of decorative art and design—ideal for collectors and interior spaces that value soulful, sculptural lighting.
