Post Modern White Ceramic Shell Grotto Motif Table Lamp - 1980s

About the Item

A vintage post-modern white ceramic shell motif table lamp. Glazed in a crisp white ceramic, this light will add interest to any room. The overall shape is more of an oval, wide on the front and back, and skinner in depth. Overlapping trompe l'oeil ribbons decorate the front and back giving it a lovely texture and almost an art deco feel. The bottom is covered in felt, and the plug-in cord is in a transparent yellow. We love the idea of using a pleated Cipriani style shade on this lamp, perhaps in cream or a brighter hue. Style it on a side table, buffet, or in a powder bath. Wherever it finds its new home it is sure to be a conversation piece. We've tested this piece, and it works with no issues! Dimensions: 7" Wide 6.75" Deep 14" Tall

Ceramic Swan Animalia Bird Table Lamps in Pearl White, a Pair 1980s
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
Pair of two whimsical ceramic swan sculptural table lamps. Each ceramic lamp is identical and showcases a swan, in repose, looking downward with its wings outstretched and displayed. At the bottom of each swan, are curled waves resembling a pond or water feature as though the bird is floating on top of the water. The color of these beautiful Animalia birds is in a pure white, with a pearlized pearlescent hue glazed on top. The lamp reaches out from the top of each swan and includes a button switch. Each cord with plug is strung through the bottom and features a molded divot at the base for the cord to come out making the lamps sturdy and not resting on each cord. Each lamp is affixed to a ceramic base in the same hue and glaze. How We Would Style Them: A dramatic pair such as these will add whimsy in any room. Our favorites, of course, would be the following: Nursery: In a nod to Spring, and rebirth, this would be a symbolic and appropriate form of lighting for a nursery. Boy or girl, the white pair will be a subtle tribute to a new little one. Placed on either side of a dresser, or, as some new mothers do, on either side of a twin bed or daybed. Because sometimes it’s just easier, and for a better piece of mind, to sleep next to a new baby! Child’s Room: Imagine a brightly lacquered French blue pair of nightstands on either side of a twin bed. chinoiserie wallpaper (Hello to all my Grand Millenials!) gracing the walls. And crisp white bedding and sheets in a matching pattern to the chintz wallpaper. Caprani flush mount lighting at the ceiling, and a fringe ottoman and matching chair at the side. A room fit for a little prince or princess. Finally, a Palm Springs or Hollywood Regency Style home. In a foyer or dining room, we see this pair placed aptly on a brightly colored...

Vintage Tall Pastel Pink Art Deco Shell Motif Ceramic Table Lamp
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
A pastel blush pink art deco ceramic table lamp. This piece will be a great addition to a grand millennial style home. It is tall and demands attention! It features an art nouveau or art deco style texture around the base which seems to also look like clam shells or leaves. It has a fluted top and depending on the shade, will more than l likely be covered. It has been tested and works beautifully! We suggest adding a cream color shade. Or if you want to be really fancy, have a custom shade made in perhaps an Indian block print style. Use it on a night stand in a bedroom or in a living room on a vintage faux bamboo side table...
