Product description
This vase lamp is based on an original ceramic vase from
VEB Haldensleben Keramik, GDR. The manufactory was one of the leading ceramic producers in the former GDR. Its work is characterized by clear, minimalist forms and distinctive glazes with strong brand recognition. The vase used here features a typical speckled, flowing glaze in intense blue on a light background – powerful and graphic. The sculpted form with its slightly offset neck lends the vase a serene, architectural presence.
The conversion to a lamp is carried out with complete care to preserve the original object:
• no drilling
• no irreversible modifications
• reversible brass construction
• the vase's collector value is maintained
The lamp socket is secured inside the vase with a cork and a clip. The vase is weighted with sand for stability. The vase opening is sealed with a high-quality brass plate, the threaded rod has a brass casing, and the socket is black:
• E27 socket made of black Bakelite
• CE marked
• Designed for up to 120 volts
• Transparent cable that leads directly into the socket
• Transparent toggle switch / EU plug
The modern cylindrical shade (25 x 25 cm) from Roomlight Studio is covered in a high-quality fabric featuring floral elements in red and blue. The bold pattern creates a striking contrast to the ceramic base.
The light is warm and even – ideal as an accent lamp on a sideboard, console, or bedside table.
Dimensions: Vase without socket 26 cm, lamp overall 53 cm, base diameter 12 cm
A distinctive, one-of-a-kind piece with East German design heritage – meticulously crafted.
