Large Mid-Century Modern Plaster Lamp "Court Jester" by G.W. Hamilton

organic form sculptural glazed ceramic lamp by Arpad Rosti. Dark blue-green and grey in color.

It was included in seven of these exhibitions between 1946 and 1958 and in 1947 Rosti’s work was singled out by the New York Times critic Edward Alden...
