Description
A very striking pair of mid-century table lamps featuring sculptural ceramic bodies with vibrant shades of blue lava drip glaze finish in the style of Honi Chilo. The pierced openwork design reveals internal lighting, allowing the lamps to glow from within-perfect for ambient mood lighting or dramatic accent placement.
The textured glaze and bold organic forms are evocative of Brutalist design, while the glowing interiors and substantial presence recall designs by Laurel Lamp Co. or Eames-era West Coast ceramicists. Each lamp rests on a brushed brass-tone metal base with matching brass hardware. The openings makes it look like a face and also would be great for a tiki room.

Height to top of harp: 29 inches
Height to top of neck approximately 22 inches
Width (widest point): 10 inches
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. Professionally tested and fully functional. Some minor age-appropriate wear to the hardware. Ceramic is free of cracks or chips. Original internal lighting works beautifully added a L.E.D bulb
