About the Item

This round bodied ceramic vase had us intrigued from the very beginning! While hailing from Germany in the late 1960s early 1970s this handcrafted piece of studio pottery sets itself apart from the vast majority of West-German pottery through its elegant lines and shape. Set in different brown tones the first impression is almost as if it was a wooden vessel. The stylized tree motive is a discrete nod to the Chinese meiping vases, with a distinctive Mid-Century Modern look and feel. The black mouth and neck are mirrored by a black foot and give this vase an aesthetically pleasing symmetry. In very good condition and only the slightest signs of its age and use, this vase will make a great decorative object in its own right and deserves to displayed prominently. This vase is signed on the bottom and carries the serial number 3124 Dimensions: Height: 30 cm (11.8 in) Diameter: 26 cm (10.2 in) Mouth Diameter: 11 cm (4.3 in) Packed with extra care for safe shipping! Please note: With a lifetime of stories behind them, our vintage design items come with a bit of character. Like the best of us, they may have picked up some scratches and scuff marks, acquired patina, and that original shine may have faded a little. And like with most of us, the internal struggles are not always visible to the outside world. Our second-hand items may not fulfil state-of-the art safety standards and codes in your region. Inner faults may exist that were missed by us. Please always consult with a certified professional before installing any electrical items.

Art Deco Table Lamp "Ikora" by Paul Haustein for WMF, Model 110 / 216, Germany c
By WMF Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik, Paul Haustein
Located in Cork, IE
A silver-plated brass body, which was "fire-patinated" in a newly developed chemical process, makes this "Ikora" table lamp a true example of how technological innovation drove exceptional design in 1920s Germany! During the late 1920s WMF developed new techniques involving chemical reactions on precious metals and glass to produce its celebrated "Ikora" collection. By using a stopping-out method to create the pattern and adding Ammonia to blacken the brass during a high temperature firing process, a playful, yet geometric pattern was achieved, which gives this lamp a timeless Art Deco aesthetic. Originally designed in 1928 by Prof Paul Haustein as a decorative metal container with lid, WMF decided to also use this design for this table lamp with model number 110 / 216 The lamp is wired for two E27 light bulbs and the central column can be easily extended by up to 8 cm (3.1 in) by loosening and tightening a small handle next to the two light sockets. This allows for different light effects as well as mounting larger lamp shades...
