Rare Studio Ceramic Lamp by Svend Hammershøi for Kähler, Denmark, c. 1940

About the Item

Illuminate your space with this exquisite and rare ceramic table lamp, designed by the renowned Danish painter and ceramist Svend Hammershøi and crafted by Kähler Keramik around 1940. The lamp features a gracefully proportioned vase form, reminiscent of Classical antiquity, adorned with delicately scrolled handles that add a touch of sophistication. Its mottled gray and black double glaze, characteristic of Hammershøi's work, creates an enchanting interplay of light and shadow, adding depth and texture to the piece. Svend Hammershøi (1873-1948) was a pioneering figure in Danish ceramics, celebrated for his innovative designs and exceptional craftsmanship. Trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Hammershøi drew inspiration from both Classical art and the natural world, infusing his creations with a sense of timeless beauty. Hammershøi's ceramic designs are renowned for their understated elegance and subtle complexity. He experimented with a variety of glazing techniques, often achieving striking effects through the use of mottled and textured finishes. His work reflects a deep appreciation for simplicity and refinement, earning him a lasting legacy in the world of Scandinavian design. NOTE: Height is measured to the top of the harp (overall height). The height to the top of the socket measures 16.25".
