About the Item

Masterfully carved -- not molded -- and bathed in a textured, rich brown glaze, this very early lamp base/vase by Glidden Parker is a superb example of Art Deco artistry by one of the upcoming masters in Mid Century design. A graduate of Alfred University's pioneering ceramics program, Parker went on to found the Glidden pottery, which had a huge influence on dishware design and art pottery in the 1940s and 50s, not just in America but also in Italy. Designed to serve as a lamp base but never fitted, this piece can also serve as a vase or tabletop sculpture.
