🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES
Part of the celebrated tradition of West German Art Pottery (1949–1990), this lamp base reflects the era’s fascination with textured glazes and relief decoration. Factories such as Bay Keramik, Scheurich, and Carstens Tönnieshof produced similar high-relief forms during the 1960s and 1970s, many of which were exported across Europe and North America. While this example is unmarked, its style and palette firmly situate it within this influential design movement.
