Italian Porcelain Lamp Base – Corn Cob Design by La Farnesiana, Parma 1970's

About the Item

Bring a bold touch of vintage whimsy to your home with this rare porcelain lamp base in the shape of a realistic corn cob. Handcrafted by La Farnesiana, a renowned ceramics maker based in Parma, Italy. This playful yet artful piece is a wonderful example of mid-century Italian design, combining craftsmanship with character. About the Maker: La Farnesiana was known for producing high-quality, decorative ceramic art in the mid-20th century, often with bold colors and unique, naturalistic designs. Pieces from this maker are now highly sought after by collectors of Italian ceramics. Condition: Good vintage condition. Minor signs of age consistent with vintage pieces. Socket: Standard E27 bulb fitting Wiring: Rewired by a professional with on/off switch. Why it Stands Out: - A rare and humorous statement piece from a respected Italian ceramic house - Ideal for collectors of vintage Italian pottery, kitsch, or mid-century modern decor - Beautifully crafted and full of personality Whether displayed in a retro-themed kitchen, an eclectic living space, or a cozy reading nook, this lamp base brings joy and a unique vintage soul to any room.
