Details

This striking sculptural piece is an original Ellis Pottery lamp base, produced in Australia during the late 1960s or early 1970s. It features the iconic crater block form, a brutalist-inspired design with deeply recessed circular panels.

The glaze is a sophisticated mix of high-gloss gold bronze-lustre and a textured, lava-style drip glaze that provides incredible depth and character. This specific design is a wonderful local interpretation of the European brutalist movement, often compared to the iconic Facette series by Cari Zalloni.

This stunning lamp is paired with its rare original fabric shade, featuring a geometric weave and delicate amber bead fringing that creates a beautiful, warm ambient glow.

Condition:

Excellent vintage condition. The ceramic is free from chips or cracks, and the metallic bronze-lustre glaze remains vibrant and reflective.

The original shade is in great condition, with the geometric textile and bead fringe intact.

Professionally tested and tagged. Ready for use in Australia.
