Excepcional Unique Table Lamp Porcelain Interior Light Museum-quality
Located in Mombuey, Zamora
Museum-quality
A unique and very special piece purchased in Spain, but it could have come from somewhere else, as it bears no resemblance to the lamps produced in that area, neither in design nor workmanship. It's a higher-quality piece than average. I've never seen one of such quality. In terms of design, texture, and color, this lamp is superior to those made in Spain, specifically in Manises. However, it could have been made elsewhere in Spain, as many porcelain factories still existed in the early 20th century, especially in northern Spain, but they didn't make lamps. I've been looking for a similar one for many years and have only seen one. I've seen a similar design by a German artist, but I can't identify it. It's in excellent condition, like new. It's likely a designer piece, but I couldn't say who made it.
It's an exceptional piece; the pictures don't do it justice.
It's large, much larger than average. When illuminated internally and allowing light to escape through the round holes in the design, it creates an exceptional image and atmosphere. It is undoubtedly a signature piece or a piece of art, surely designed by an artist who worked in the Manises workshops or in any Spanish workshop, or someone bought it and brought it here.
Interior lighting, and the lower part of the lamp. The uz comes out through the holes and it is spectacul

Floral Organic Modern Ceramic Wall Plate / Centerpiece, 1950s
Located in Copenhagen, DK
Vintage handmade fully glazed Swedish midcentury modern wall platter / centrepiece with organic, floral decor depicting a gazelle with a direct gaze surrounded by vegetation in brown, ochre, green, white and bright pink colors on a striped dark blue background created with the experimental sgraffito technique that Tilgmans became famous for. Designed and handpainted in the late 1950s by Eivor Lang and manufactured by German/Finnish Paul Harald Tilgman in his workshop in the small town of Kortedala close to Gothenburg, Sweden. Milky white glaze on the base and sides with curved, muted green decor framing the image along the edge. Three holes for hanging - two in use with metal wire. Signed under base.
A handpainted piece in beautiful condition.
Paul Harald “Harry” Tilgmann was born in Dresden, Germany in 1904 and emigrated to Sweden during WWII where he started Tilgmans Keramik (= Ceramics) in 1948 in the small town of Utbynäs close to Gothenburg. Tilgman had 16 employees working for him and when he hired the Polish refugee Marian Zawadzki (1912-1978) as artistic director in 1953, Tilgman Keramik started experimenting with the distinct sgraffito technique. The sgraffito technique consists of carving fine lines into the background of a design through a light colored glaze down to a dark grey clay slip. This created a unique textured ground which has become a style associated with Tilgmans Keramik in particular. The decorative elements also appear to be outlined with a carved line and then hand painted with overglazes where birds, fish, flowers, butterflies and other animals were a common theme. This type of work was the most popular in midcentury Sweden alongside Tilgmans small animal figurines...
