In excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks to the ceramic base and minimal wear to the shade, this Ellis Ceramics lamp is a unique statement piece for considered interiors.

Australian Studio Pottery Table Lamp by Ellis Ceramics

Ellis Ceramics is recognised as an important name in Australian studio pottery, producing distinctive handcrafted ceramic pieces throughout the mid-century period.

This table lamp reflects the sculptural approach associated with Australian ceramic design of the era, using a carefully developed glaze finish and organic form rather than purely functional construction. The metallic ombre surface creates depth and variation, shifting between bronze and cream tones depending on the surrounding light.

The combination of ceramic craftsmanship, original character, and practical lighting makes this piece suitable for collectors, vintage furniture enthusiasts, and interiors seeking authentic Australian design.
