About the Item

Original 1950s ceramic TV lamp with small bud planter showcasing a pair of swans making a heart from their heads in a loving embrace by California ceramics and pottery maker Royal Fleet. The lamp is finished in pink with gold flecks, embodying the elegance of mid-century color design. 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: 12 in X Width: 13 in X Depth: 5 in United States, 1950
