AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage egg-shaped opaline glass ceiling lamp / table lamp with hand-painted line decor – Mid-Century Modern (c. 1950s to 1960s)
A very charming and atmospheric vintage lamp in the distinctive egg shape ("Egg Lamp").
The fixture is made of high-quality, matte white opaline glass that provides a beautiful, diffuse and warm light when the lamp is lit.
The glass is hand-decorated all around with flowing vertical lines in contrasting jet black and vivid yellow. This minimalist and abstract pattern gives the object a playful and Art Deco vibe.
The lamp is fitted with an authentic sand-colored/cream-white plastic or Bakelite base. Originally designed as a stylish ceiling lamp (plafonnière), but today also extremely popular and decoratively suitable as a cozy table lamp or night light on a sideboard or bedside table.
