About the Item

A small table totem lamp by ceramicist Bernard Rooke - double-sided - featuring Rooke's hieroglyphics and blue glass detail. Late 1960s, England. The lamp is in nice original condition with particularly clear markings and even execution, while still retaining the look and feel of beautifully hand-crafted work. The overall tone is natural sandy beige with darker markings and lighter glazed side panels near the base. The central section features a pool of blue glass on one side and a circular inscribed motif on the other. As is usual with the earlier pieces this lamp is unsigned. Wiring: The wiring is original and we advise this is tested/replaced as required in the country of install. The existing switched lamp-holder takes a single bayonet-fitting bulb, and we recommend the use of a low heat model. Shade not included. Approximate dimensions: Ceramic only: Height: 28cm Depth:7.2cm at base Width: 11.8cm at centre For information the overall height including the shade as shown is 56cm or 22 inches. Bernard Rooke was born in 1938, and studied ceramics at Goldsmiths College in London. In 1960 he set up a workshop in Forest Hill sharing with another pottery artist, Alan Wallwork. Rooke's early pieces were hand-built using coils and blocks. His work is found in private collections as well as museums and galleries around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
