About the Item

An extraordinary Art Deco table lamp from the 1930s, showcasing an exceptional glaze and a refined expression of Swedish Grace design. This sculptural ceramic lamp base was created by the accomplished Erik Mörlins for Nittsjö Keramik, Sweden. The form is deliberately simple and perfectly spherical, allowing the spectacular mottled green glaze to take center stage. Rich, nuanced, and deeply luminous, the glaze gives the lamp a striking presence while retaining the restrained elegance characteristic of Scandinavian Art Deco. Both timeless and highly distinctive, this lamp base is a true statement piece—equally suited to classic interiors and modern spaces seeking a bold yet sophisticated accent. A rare and beautifully balanced example of Swedish ceramic lighting from the interwar period. It is 23cm (9.05") high, including the light fitting and 17cm (6.69") in diameter and it is in a great condition. The price includes free shipping. NOTE that this lamp is wired and plug suitable for Swedish standard (and for most parts of EU) and that the lamp shades are not included. Nittsjö Keramik, Sweden. Nittsjö ceramics factory is a limited company for the production of earthenware and various types of pottery becoming a leading brand during the 1960s and 70s appreciated for their take on Scandinavian design, when it comes to modern interior design. The factory was founded in 1843 as a pure brick factory, but in 1847 they began to manufacture terracotta and tile stoves. In 1924, the first ceramic designer Erik Mornils was employed at the factory. In 1933, the Rättvik-born artist Jerk Werkmäster was linked to the factory. Some of their more well-known artists and designers were Jerk Werkmäster, Thomas Hellström and Eliane Westh known for their colocurful design and production of vases as well as many other ceramic art objects known to the retro and vintage enthusiasts.
