Description from the seller
Magnificent, very rare, large vintage/antique lamp from the 1930s-1950s in the style of Jean-Besnard, signed by the Keramos workshop by René Hénon or another ceramist from the Keramos workshop (Dakon, Josef Lorenzl, Michael Powolny, Rudolf Podany, Dora Langer, Hertha Bucher, Wiener Werkstätte...), Sèvres, France. Crackled Raku ceramics, in a modern, Japanese-inspired style, very elegant. Shaped like a large, flared vase in the form of a corolla with a small round base. Beige color, gray crackles, a band with horizontal grooves in dark brown on the top, matching the color on the base of the foot. Rare or unique artisanal model.
Total height of 26.8cm, maximum diameter of 26cm, approximately 13-14cm diameter for the foot. Very good overall condition, a chip on the rim, possibly an enamel defect, and a small discreet stain under the rim, along with some subtle manufacturing flaws, notably beige enamel spots on the dark band. Possibly re-electrified more recently, functional, European plug, golden plastic socket, large screw bulb, cord length 1.9-2m. Sold without a bulb. Approximately 2,450 grams.
