About the Item

A very special ceramic lamp base from Tilgmans, Sweden. This lamp is very typical of his style when it comes to patterns and glazing from the 1970s. The design is simple and honest, yet it is glazing and the colors which makes it rather special. The base is a green/blue color with orange and red as well as black and white details in a striped glazing pattern. The price includes free shipping. It is 24cm/9.44" high (including the lamp fitting) and around 10cm/3.93" in diameter at the base. NOTE it has been newly rewired with plugs suitable for Sweden and most EU countries and that the lampshades are not included. Tilgmans Keramik (Ceramic) one of Scandinavia’s most valuable contributors to innovative mid-century modern pottery design. The history of the company is old but by the late 1960s they had established a very unique type of art and design pottery. The design was coarser and darker in appearance always with a modern twist. The production had also a new focus; they were creating more modern interior design objects, varying from art objects to a wide range of vases, lamps, and other ceramic art objects. This became their trademark a very distinct and is not always following the Swedish or Scandinavian design principles, rather one can say that each piece holds a unique quality both in form, function and glazing effects. Rendering that their goods have a modern contemporary feeling, appreciated still, for anyone who loves unique retro and vintage ceramic objects. Tilgman's had their ceramics and pottery workshop outside Gothenburg, Sweden operating around 1948–1975 under the leadership of its founder Paul Harald Tilgmann (1904–1974). Tilgman's ceramics are mainly known for ceramics that are decorated with so-called sgraffito technology. Tilgmann, like other members of the Tilgmann family in Helsinki, had artistic and design talents. He moved from Helsinki to Gothenburg in 1945. His artistic ambitions led him to become a ceramicist and started Tilgman's ceramics in Utbynäs outside Gothenburg in 1948. In the first years, the ceramics workshop mainly produced animal figures. In 1953, Marian Zawadzki (1912-1978) was employed, a Polish refugee who had knowledge of the graffiti technique. With this technology, the products that Tilgmans created had a unique form and design to their art pottery.
