AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

For those who wish to enrich their home with a piece of authentic Italian artistic craftsmanship, this splendid table lamp represents the perfect meeting of ceramic craftsmanship and romantic charm from another era.

Inspired in shape by the classic late 19th-century oil lamps, the ceramic base was hand-molded and hand-decorated by the master ceramicists of Bassano del Grappa, one of the world’s most famous artistic ceramic districts.

The ceramic tradition of Bassano boasts centuries-old roots born under the Republic of Venice, renowned for the quality of its clays and the unmistakable glaze work.

Each flower and stem is brush-stroked freely with vivid shades of pink, green, and blue, making this piece a unique and unrepeatable treasure.

The ceramic body features the characteristic craquelure (craquelé), a classic decorative technique that adds depth and an antique, highly collectible charm.

The spherical satin glass shade diffuses a soft, warm light, perfect for creating an intimate and relaxing atmosphere.

The vintage Bassano-branded lighting elements, complete with their original glass and perfectly preserved, are increasingly sought after in the high-quality vintage market. Placed on a console, a solid wood desk, or a nightstand, this lamp does more than illuminate: it transforms the room and immediately draws the gaze of guests.

Seller's Story

Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects. Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you. Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep: • A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco. We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths. • Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design. • We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves. • Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally. This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector. • Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction. • Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood. We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost. Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust. Happy bidding!
