Mid-Century Modern Brown Speckled Stoneware Table Lamp by EGO, Sweden 1960s
About the Item
This charming mid-century brown speckled stoneware table lamp by EGO was crafted by EGO Stengods in Lidköping, Sweden during the 1960s. The lamp features a compact, rounded form with a narrow neck, beautifully proportioned for smaller spaces. Its surface is adorned with a speckled glaze of black and brown dots over a warm beige background, creating a rich, textured look.
Two decorative rows of deeply incised triangle patterns encircle the body, adding a tactile and geometric touch to the overall design. The lamp base is stamped “stengods EGO Lidköping,” confirming its Swedish heritage and studio craftsmanship.

ABOUT EGO
EGO Stengods was founded in 1965 by Gösta Olofsson and German-born artist Willi Fischer. Olofsson, who had worked in sales at both Gustavsberg and Rörstrand, partnered with Fischer, who handled the artistic side of the business. They set up their workshop in Tofta, outside Lidköping, in a former mechanical workshop. With a kiln, a small team, and a shared passion for ceramics, they began producing stoneware lamp bases, candleholders, vases, and animal figures.
Just a year later, Fischer offered to buy out Olofsson, but when the offer was declined, Olofsson instead bought out Fischer and took over the company, renaming it EGO—after his and his wife Elisabeth’s initials. Although Elisabeth was not involved in the business, the name stuck. Fischer was later replaced by artist Heinz Schlichting from Rörstrand, who became EGO’s artistic director and helped define its aesthetic.
The early years were challenging, with financial difficulties and even a kiln explosion. But by the late 1970s, EGO found success and recognition. Gösta Olofsson retired in 1981, handing the company over to his son Anders, who expanded the product line to include ceiling lamps. Unfortunately, EGO filed for bankruptcy in 1987.
Renowned potter Bruno Karlsson joined EGO in 1973, crafting elegant hand-thrown vases in a 1930s/40s style until 1985. His works from EGO are signed “BK.” Gösta Olofsson passed away in 2017 at the age of 95.
