About the Item

A table lamp converted from a terracotta vase attributed to Christopher Dresser and Watcombe Terra-Cotta Co., of Torquay, Devon, England, circa 1875. The matte finish vase has been decorated with transfer prints in a neoclassical style including a Greek key around the neck. The lamp is accompanied by a hand-dyed, heavy linen shade in black with a fine wool lining. "Watcombe Pottery were proud of their fine red clay and specialised in clean, classical shapes. This suited Dresser's own interest in strong forms." It should be noted that "there is no documentary evidence of Dresser's collaboration with Watcombe but it is usually accepted on stylistic grounds." - Victoria & Albert Museum Inventory notes (items C.59A to C-1980, Jug and two Beakers) Dimensions - 49cm H x 26cm D (with shade) N.B. This lamp has been rewired to Australian standards however if being shipped internationally will require rewiring and the respective plugs.
