Mid-Century Modern Table Lamp by Jaap Ravelli with Opaline Glass Mushroom Shade
About the Item
A striking example of Mid-Century Modern Dutch ceramic artistry, this original table lamp by Jaap Ravelli (1916–2011) embodies the rich material experimentation and organic minimalism for which his studio became renowned. Likely created in the 1960s or early 1970s, the lamp features a hand-thrown or mold-cast ceramic base finished in one of Ravelli’s signature multi-layered glazes—a luminous, textural surface where deep cobalt blues, violet-pinks, and subtle green flecks pool and melt into each other with painterly precision. This glaze technique, often achieved through reduction firing and multiple applications, reveals the artist’s mastery of alchemy and form.
The clean, bottle-shaped base is paired with a minimalist white mushroom-shaped opaline glass shade, creating a harmonious contrast between vibrant texture and smooth translucency. The result is a sculptural lighting piece that feels simultaneously earthy and futuristic—timeless in its design and deeply rooted in the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic.
Ravelli’s work sits at the intersection of Dutch modernism and Scandinavian-inspired utility, and his lamps, though rarer than his bowls and vases, are particularly prized for their architectural simplicity and saturated color palettes. This piece stands out for its exceptional glaze variation and sculptural balance.

About the Artist:
Jaap Ravelli (1916–2011) was a celebrated Dutch ceramicist whose work helped define the artistic language of postwar European studio pottery. After studying at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, Ravelli established his studio in Valkenburg, where he produced a wide range of hand-crafted vessels, tiles, and lighting throughout the 1950s to 1970s. Known for his minimalist forms and richly layered glazes, Ravelli’s style reflects the influence of both Dutch modernism and Scandinavian design. His work is held in high regard by collectors for its experimental surfaces, sculptural integrity, and timeless Mid-Century Modern appeal.
