About the Item

Original 1950s ceramic TV lamp with small bud planter showcasing a stallion by California ceramics and pottery maker Gliner Pottery. The lamp is finished in pink with gold flecks, embodying the elegance of mid-century color design. Gilner Pottery, established in the 1930s by Beryl Gilner in Culver City, California, became well-known for its charming and whimsical ceramic creations. The company produced a variety of items, including pixie figurines, TV lamps, planters, and other decorative ceramics. After World War II, American families, now free from wartime sacrifices, began buying luxuries like televisions. In 1948, there were two million TV sets in the U.S.; by mid-1951, this number had grown to 13 million. Early TVs were bulky, with small, fuzzy screens best viewed in dark rooms. Despite concerns about radiation and eye strain, TV lamps became popular. These lamps, placed on top of TVs, provided indirect lighting to ease eye strain and alleviated public fears. TV lamps peaked in the 1950s and 60s but declined as TV screens became larger and brighter. Dimensions: Height: 10 in X Width: 14 in X Depth: 5 in United States, 1950
