About the Item

What is it? — Another gem from the masters of midcentury lightning – Gordon and Jane Martz. Not too big, not too small – this ceramic lamp is equally at home on an end table or credenza as it is on a dresser or bedside table. This signed Martz #141 lamp comes in a matte black / dark charcoal grey glaze. The ceramic body gives way to a thin walnut neck and the whole ensemble is capped off with the famous Martz walnut finial. MARTZ / Marshall Studios 101 — Jane Marshall—whose grandmother founded Marshall Studios in 1922—married Gordon Martz in 1951, a year before the couple graduated from New York’s Alfred University. They returned to Veedersburg, Indiana to work in the family business, bringing with them a passion for contemporary hand-designed stoneware. The Martz's work transformed Marshall Studios. What had been a lampshade manufacturing company became a hotbed of handcrafted modern lamps and accessories. Martz lamp bases were slip-cast for mass production and later decorated by hand using techniques such as incising, dipping, and brushing to create a variety of patterns and colors. Martz lamps have been featured in the Museum of Modern Art, a growing number of private collections and are the darling of the French modernist auction scene. Condition: — Perfect vintage condition. Original socket and hardware are in excellent working condition. Dimensions: — ceramic base: 11" height x 5.5" bottom diameter. height from base to bulb socket: 16" height. height to top of finial: 24" height.
