Lot 12:
Description
A pair of large sculptural ceramic table lamps featuring a highly textured frill or ruffle design. The bodies are finished in a white glaze with exposed terracotta-toned edges, creating a layered effect throughout the form. Each lamp is fitted with a metal bayonet B22 bulb holder and an adjustable riser. The lamps are wired with white twisted fabric-covered cables, each featuring an inline white plastic rocker switch. The electrical components show variation between the two units; one is fitted with a standard UK three-pin plug (BS 1363), while the other features a three-pin plug with round pins. These items are sold as decorative objects only and require inspection by a qualified electrician before any electrical use. No maker marks or labels are visible on the ceramic bases or fittings.
Height: 49 cm.
Condition report:
Both lamps show damage to the delicate ceramic elements. One lamp has a large vertical section of the ruffle detail broken away and missing near the base (photo 4). The other lamp shows areas where broken ceramic frills have been poorly reattached with visible adhesive residue and subsequent losses (photo 3). Surface crazing is visible to the glaze throughout both bodies, and there is surface dirt and discoloration present on the switches and plugs (photo 2).
