Description :
Splendid and authentic vintage table lamp (circa 1960-1970) in enameled earthenware from the famous Vallauris production (France).
This is a unique artisanal piece, entirely hand-painted by the ceramicist and decorator Louis Gruson. The base bears a magnificent spring floral motif (cornflowers, daisies) very fresh, underscored by delicate blue ribbons. The bottom of the base features an elegant gradient of brown-orange tones. Authenticity is guaranteed by the double signature: the brand “VALLAURIS” is stamped recessed under the base and the handwritten signature “Gruson” is visible at the back of the decoration.
