Spanish Revival Mid-Century Benlloch Manises Ceramic Table Lamp
By Manuel Benlloch
Located in AMSTERDAM, NL
Meticulously hand-crafted by Amitābha Studio from a vintage Manuel Benlloch Manises vase, this table lamp captures the spirit of Spanish Revival design. The tall, hexagonal base is finished in an ivory crackle glaze, a hallmark of Benlloch wares, and painted freehand in a bold palette of cobalt blue, rust-orange, and cream. Its rich patterning draws on Spain’s historic Hispano-Moresque and Mudéjar traditions, translated here into a vibrant mid-century ceramic form. Each of the six faces is framed by cobalt ribs and filled with repeating ogee arches, lattice lozenges, and scrolling arabesques. The rhythmic interplay of color and geometry creates a bold yet refined surface, perfectly balancing ornament and structure. The underside bears the hand-painted signature “Benlloch España,” affirming its authenticity as a product of this renowned Manises workshop, active across three generations in the 20th century. To echo the vase’s architectural silhouette, Amitābha Studio has paired the base with a new bespoke hexagonal lampshade. Crafted in warm Dupion silk in tones of orange, peach, and gold, the fabric’s natural texture harmonizes with the arabesques on the ceramic. A Houlès passementerie trim completes the design, while the shade’s golden glow enhances the lamp’s sculptural presence when illuminated. This Spanish Revival lamp...

Spanish Mid-Century Teruel Green Ceramic Table Lamp — Mudéjar Revival
By Domingo Punter e Hijos
Located in AMSTERDAM, NL
Lovingly hand-crafted by Amitābha Studio from a vintage Punter Teruel vase in a baluster form, this lamp exemplifies the richness of Spanish Revival design paired with mid-century artistry. The rounded body rises gracefully to a tall neck, its surface coated in a creamy tin glaze and painted freehand in the distinctive loza verdimorada palette of green and manganese black. This striking chromatic language, unique to Teruel ceramics, traces directly back to the medieval Mudéjar traditions of Aragón, where similar motifs once adorned both domestic tablewares and the city’s iconic glazed towers. The decoration is arranged in framed compartments across the body: a heraldic lion, a stylized bird, and geometric devices executed in bold black linework. Along the lower register runs a rhythmic frieze of pinecone medallions, a traditional symbol of abundance and vitality. The motifs, painted with expressive brushwork, exemplify the revival style pioneered by Domingo Punter and his contemporaries, who reinterpreted medieval patterns with modern fluidity. At the foot, the reddish terracotta clay is revealed, inscribed with the bold mark “PUNTER,” confirming the piece’s authenticity. To balance the ceramic base, Amitābha Studio has paired the lamp with a custom lampshade in a green, black, and white tweed weave. The textured fabric recalls couture textiles, while the double-cord passementerie trim by Houlès adds refinement. When lit, the lamp casts a warm, inviting glow that emphasizes its sculptural silhouette and intricate surface design. This Spanish Revival lamp...
