About the Item
An evocative piece of mid-century Italian ceramic design, this turquoise-glazed table lamp by Ugo Zaccagnini reflects the East-meets-West aesthetic that gained prominence in the 1950s.
Handcrafted in Florence, the lamp draws on Asian style decorative motifs, with a stylised cartouche wrapping the rotund ceramic body, flanked by classic Greek key borders and other ornate relief elements—all highlighted in gold gilt.
The intense turquoise glaze, a hallmark of Zaccagnini’s more exuberant post-war work, creates a vivid contrast against the warmth of the gold detailing. The result is both glamorous and sculptural, capturing the mid-century fascination with exoticism and surface richness.
Measuring 38 cm in height and 12 cm in width, the lamp has been lightly restored: the gilt decoration has received a minor professional touch-up, and a polished brass neck and gold-toned Edison lamp holder have been sympathetically added to complement the original design. The ceramic base is hand-signed and numbered to the underside.
In good vintage condition, showing only minor age-related wear. Wiring is not tested and should be certified according to local safety standards before use.
