Vintage Buttercream Pottery Lamp (Trade)

$365.00
| /

A tall, clean-lined pottery lamp in a soft buttercream glaze, the creamy yellow of fresh butter that looks warmer in daylight and quieter at night. The body is a broad, straight-sided column with softly rounded corners, stepping in at the shoulder to a short neck that carries a brass socket. There is no pattern and no ornament, just a smooth, even glaze and strong, confident proportions.
Vintage and mid-century in style, it brings color and sculptural height without clutter. At 7.5" in diameter and 21.5" tall without a shade, it is a natural for a bedside table, console, sideboard or desk, and it pairs easily with linen, drum or pleated shades. The shade in our photos is for reference only and is not included.

This vintage mid-century style pottery table lamp has a soft buttercream glaze and a clean column form. It measures 7.5 inches in diameter and 21.5 inches tall to the top of the socket, without a shade. It suits bedside tables, consoles and desks, and is available from DE-COR in Pasadena with trade pricing for designers.

Q: What does mid-century style mean here?
A: It refers to the clean lines, simple forms and soft, solid-color glazes popular in mid-20th-century pottery and lighting. We describe this lamp as mid-century in style because it matches that look. We have not identified a maker or designer, so we don't attribute it to one.

Q: What bulb should I use?
A: Use a bulb at or below the maximum wattage marked on the socket. An LED bulb in a warm white tone is a good choice because it runs cool and gives a soft glow through a linen or pleated shade, which suits the buttercream glaze.
