Sculptural French Fat Lava Ceramic Table Lamp by Louis Giraud, Vallauris France

About the Item

Ceramic table lamp produced by Louis Giraud for his eponymous studio, 'Poterie d'Art Giraud' (Vallauris, France, ca. early 1950s). Giraud's sculptural works were often seen in thick lava glazes. This piece is a fine example showcasing Giraud's incorporation of a dense volcanic glaze, referencing the incrustations left by mollusks. Unique three-vessel organic-form in appealing, neutral palette. Incised signature present: "Giraud Vallauris." There are no losses to the ceramic base; there is only light edge wear to the shade (a later addition). Currently wired for European use; will be presented newly re-wired for US use, if required. Overall dimensions including the shade: height: 28.25" x Diameter: 13.75" Length without the shade: 9" Depth without the shade: 8.13" Height ceramic base alone: 16.38" Height to top of socket: 19.75" Shade alone measures: height: 11" x diameter: 13.75"
