Body and neck are in great shape, with no notable signs of age or use. Fittings, harp, and finial show some age, with a varied amount of light patina and tarnish. Cord and plug show some age, but are in usable shape.

Handsome lines, … more A very dapper and uncommon 1950s bottle-shaped ceramic table lamp with white ribbed body and black tapered neck.
Handsome lines, perfect proportions, and a Truman Capote-approved black and white color scheme call to mind a natty bowtie and tuxedo shirt ensemble. White slightly tapered bottle-shaped body with vertical ribs or fins is topped by a black inverse-tapered neck. Both sections finished in satin glazes bordering on semi-matte that have a super subtle yet sumptuous sheen.
Original brass finish fittings, harp, and finial. Original cord and plug with newer brass finish two-way socket that works great. Bottom fully dressed in what appears to be fresh felt. Ready for a new shade of the buyer’s choosing.
Believed to be of United States origin, though it could possibly be from Denmark or Sweden instead—we’ve seen mid-century ceramic table lamps with a similar look and immaculate execution from those countries as well.
Height listed is to top of socket; height to top of neck is 19.75 inches. less
