AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Handmade – Anno 81” – 68 cm – Original Lampshade – 4 kg – Studio Keramiek
An impressive and sculptural handmade ceramic table lamp, branded “Handarbeit – Anno 81”, indicating artisanal manufacture and dating around 1981.
With a total height of 68 cm and a ceramic base of 39 cm, this is not a standard table lamp, but a pronounced statement piece that has a strong presence both functionally and decoratively in any interior.
Color Play & Decorative Details
This lamp distinguishes itself with its harmonious yet powerful color contrasts:
Warm light gray to sandy-colored base
Deep and intense cobalt blue glaze
Glossy decoration against a matte base
Geometric diamond panels in relief
Medallion-shaped ornaments
Stylized wing or leaf motifs
Decoratively worked neck with circular structures
The relief is clearly tactile and creates a beautiful play of shadows when the lamp is lit. The blue deepens with incident light, giving the whole piece extra depth and character.
The ceramic base alone (39 cm tall) has a strong sculptural character.
Dimensions & Weight
Total height (incl. shade): 68 cm
Height of ceramic base: 39 cm
Width: 30 cm
Depth: 30 cm
Weight: 4 kg
The weight confirms the solid quality of the ceramic and the substantial construction.
Marking
Etched on the underside:
“Handarbeit”
“Anno 81”
Numbering
This confirms the artisanal character and dating to the early 1980s.
Original Lampshade – Rarely Preserved
A notable plus of this piece is that it still comes with the original lampshade.
Given the age (c. 1981) it is exceptional that the original shade is still present and in good condition. With many similar lamps, the shade has been replaced over the years.
The shade:
Has warm, naturally tinted fabric
Features a subtle texture
Complements the ceramic base aesthetically
Enhances the authentic vintage appearance
This increases both the authenticity and collectible value of the whole.
Functionality

Switch on the cord
European plug
Suitable for standard E27 bulb
The lamp emits a warm, atmospheric light that beautifully accentuates the relief and glaze accents.
Condition
