French ceramic table lamp, attributed to the Vallauris workshops, famous for their intense artistic and experimental production in the mid-twentieth century. The piece presents a spherical body of remarkable presence, covered by a glaze in bronze and black tones, which provides visual depth and a sophisticated character. The finish is highlighted by an intentional crackle, characteristic of part of the Vallaurian production of the period, which introduces texture, underlining the artisanal sensibility. Its mid-century aesthetic also makes it very attractive for contemporary interiors.
