Tye of California Classical Etruscan Horse Lamp with Capiz Shade

By TYE of California

Located in Chattanooga, TN

Glazed and hand painted ceramic lamp by Tye of California. The vintage 1950s lamp has a classical design, deviating from the modern trend. A series of horses circle the lamp along the base. The style of the horses and figures have an ancient Etruscan aesthetic. The glaze has an antiqued feel achieved through elaborate textures and painting techniques. The equestrian theme is rendered in periwinkle blue, Dijon yellow, and rests against a ground of moss green. Tye of California specialized in elegant decorative lamps in the 1950s. The lamps have since become a favorite among collectors. Light is diffused with an ethereal glow through the capiz shell lamp shade...

Questions About Tye of California Lighting
  • Who invented California dial?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The California dial likely originated in the 1930s because Californians loved mixing Roman and Arabic numbers. However, the style grew in popularity in the 1970s when refinisher Kirk Rich was tasked with creating California dial watch faces. You’ll find a range of California dial watches on 1stDibs.
  • What is a California Watch Dial?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    A California watch dial is a clock face featuring half Roman numerals (generally for 10 o’clock to 2 o’clock) and half Arabic numerals (generally for 4 o’clock to 8 o’clock). A dash might replace the hours of 3, 6, and 9 — instead of the comparatively unexciting numerical representation — and an inverted triangle might be used to represent the hour of 12. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique, modern and contemporary watches.
