About the Item
This bold and vivid lamp from the late 1920s captures a phenomenon that started in the late 19th century and continued into the Art Deco period -- female figures dancing with flowing veils and fluttering fabrics. Loïe Fuller began the trend in the 1890s and early 1900s, and later Ruth St. Denis danced with veils and diaphanous fabrics in America. Here, the body of the lamp -- produced by Muncie pottery in Indiana -- shows a frieze of nude female figures, bathed in terra cotta and green-blue glazes. What makes this lamp extraordinary is its shade, composed of copper mesh painted in a brilliant palette of terra cotta, pumpkin, blue green and grey-purple -- a unique shade that was clearly made for this lamp. Other artists and makers such as Louis Comfort Tiffany made lamp shades using this kind of copper mesh, but they are rare. The lamp base was designed by Reuben Haley, an extraordinary figure in American decorative arts, who attended the famed 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris and brought Cubism and modern stylization back to America. Haley is best known for creating a line of Cubist glass pieces dubbed "Ruba Rombic" for Consolidated Lamp and Glass Company, and later for Muncie, but he also designed a number of other Art Deco pieces such as this lamp.

"Exchange of Cultures, " High Style Art Deco Porcelain Lamp Base w/ Nudes by Robj
By ROBJ
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Illustrated in "Ceramiche Robj" and considered a major design by the renowned sculptor and ceramicist, this large piece was probably made in early 1930s to coincide with the debut of the Exposition Coloniale Internationale in Paris, which attracted almost 9 million visitors in less than a year. Rare and striking, this porcelain table lamp base depicts the globe surmounted by a tightly composed cluster of nude and semi-nude female figures representing cultures around the world. The women depicted here, all glazed in a gorgeous snow-white glaze highlighted in gold, are clearly representing a range of nations in Asia and Africa, probably coinciding with the nations that were part of the French Colonial Empire in the 1930s, before they won their freedom. Much like the one surviving building from the Exposition, now the Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration, which features a massive bas relief mural...
