Ceramist Michael Andersen Table Lamp organic motif and green glaze. Denmark 1940

About the Item

This rare table lamp, crafted by the esteemed Danish ceramist Michael Andersen and Son in the 1940s, exemplifies the fusion of form and function that defines Scandinavian design. The piece features an organic motif, rendered with fluid lines and naturalistic textures, evoking a sense of movement and vitality that reflects the era's fascination with biomorphic shapes. The green glaze, a hallmark of Michael Andersen's mid-century aesthetic, adds depth and a vibrant, earthy character to the lamp. The glaze’s subtle variations in tone highlight the handcrafted nature of the piece, emphasizing its artisanal origins and connection to nature. The interplay of glossy and matte surfaces further enhances its visual complexity, creating a dynamic and engaging object. As both a functional lamp and a sculptural artifact, this piece stands as a testament to Michael Andersen’s innovative approach to ceramic art. It captures the spirit of Danish modernism, where artistry and practicality converge, offering an enduring example of 20th-century Scandinavian craftsmanship. Base dimension: High: 23,5 cm (9,25 inch) Diameter: 17,5 cm (6,88 inch) (The lamps will be given new electrical circuit and rewired with beige fabric wire and US or EU plug in.)
