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. ⸻ Please note: The lamp is fully wired for use in the U.S. Additionally, the listed height includes the lampshade.

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.

Blue Neoclassical Ceramic Table Lamp, William Morris Acanthus Pleated Shade
By Morris & Co., Flora Gouda
Located in AMSTERDAM, NL
This vintage ceramic table lamp was handcrafted by Amitābha Studio in Amsterdam from a rare amphora-shaped vase by Flora Gouda, part of the Porcelina series produced between 1950 and 1970. We’ve paired the base with a bespoke hand-pleated lampshade in a reinterpreted William Morris Acanthus print, and finished it with a soft blue silk cord. The lamp was created without harming the original vase in any way. The amphora form, with its fluted pedestal and graceful curves, reflects a neoclassical influence filtered through the clean, modernist lines of mid-century Dutch design. Finished in a pale, slate-toned matte glaze, the vase belongs to Flora’s Porcelina series—developed to meet shifting postwar tastes toward muted, architectural ceramics. Its powdery surface diffuses light gently, lending the lamp a quiet, sculptural quality. The lampshade’s pleated craftsmanship echoes the vase’s ribbed detailing, while the indigo and ivory palette of the William Morris textile subtly mirrors the vase’s color story. Together, the lamp and shade create a thoughtful dialogue between classical reference and 20th-century restraint. This Flora Gouda lamp...
