Sculptural Handmade Vintage Ceramic Lamp, Matte Green and White antique matchsafe Hand-carved of earthenware and finishedI might guess 1980s or so on this great looking hand built ceramic lamp, though possibly a little earlier. The top and bottom are inverted, accordian pleated cone forms, with a neck on the green glazed one where the lamp fixture is held, and the bulb opening inside the white half, which emits a really nice glow when lit. I just love its crispness, and the arts and crafts green and bright white combo, and how both modern and handmade it feels. 16 1 8"
