This mid-century modern lamp by Manises from Spain, model Flores, features a ceramic body with hand‑modeled porcelain flowers atop a warm red core and an amber marble base, measuring 55 cm high by 22 cm wide and deep, in good used condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
This 1950s/1960s lamp, made in Manises (Spain), is one of those pieces where ceramic craft reaches an almost sculptural level. The body rises like an organic structure, covered by an exuberant arrangement of hand-sculpted and hand-applied porcelain flowers, each with its own volume, its curve, and its slight color variation. Among them appear small leaves in soft green tones, providing contrast and depth, creating a vertical garden effect frozen in time.
The central core, with a reddish, warm texture, serves as the support for this floral profusion, recalling the Manises tradition of working porcelain with a very tactile and ornamental sense. The bottom is finished with a marble base, polished and in amber tones, which provides stability and a stylish counterpoint to the upper decorative display. That dialogue between the noble coolness of marble and the delicacy of porcelain is one of the most characteristic features of Manises lamps from the mid-20th century.
Overall, it is a piece that blends fantasy, craftsmanship, and Mediterranean design, perfect for those seeking an object with presence, history, and that floral charm so typical of Valencian ceramics.
Certified shipping and careful packaging.
