Set of 2 Mobach ceramic table lamps, Netherlands 1960s

About the Item

Set of 2 ceramic table lamps. Probably designed by Piet Knapper and manufactured by the Mobach ceramic studio. The lamps are made from ceramic and glazed in blueish gray. The texture in the lamps give great shading. The lamps are handmade and embossed underneath with the Mobach logo. Mobach: The company was founded in 1895 in Utrecht as the Utrechtsche Pottenfabriek by Klaas Jaan Mobach, who came from a Frisian potter's family. Several generations have subsequently continued it. The process of manufacturing ceramics has remained virtually the same throughout history. The pottery is turned in small series or as unique items or is built manually from clay rolls or plates, after which it is glazed. The man-sized planters and vases in particular are well-known ceramic products from Mobach. Piet Klaarhamer and Gerrit Rietveld designed a number of vases. The factory building on the Kanaalweg along the Merwede Canal, dating from 1913, together with three associated workers' houses, have the status of a national monument. Part of the collection is housed at that location in a museum that is open once a year. Since 1910, the Mobach family also had a shop at Oudegracht 198 where they sold their ceramics. The store was taken over by another owner in 1970 and moved to Choorstraat in 1975. Under the name Mobach, it was a specialty store in design items that existed there until 2014.
