Bitossi Ceramic Table Lamp with Charcoal Glaze
Italy, 1960s
This ceramic table lamp channels the sculptural character of mid-century Italian studio design into a compact, architectural form. The tapering base is finished in a deeply textured matte charcoal glaze, rising to a vivid red glazed collar that introduces a sharp chromatic accent. The contrast between the striated, almost volcanic surface and the glossy upper element gives the piece a strong tactile and visual presence.
Its silhouette is clean and totemic, balancing expressive handmade ceramic work with a restrained modern profile. Even unlit, the lamp reads as a sculptural object, with the red glazed element acting as a focal point against the darker body. The height was measured from the bottom edge to the top of the lamp socket.
Vintage condition with wear consistent with age; light surface wear, minor irregularities to glaze and ceramic consistent with handmade production. Shade is shown for presentation.
