Mid-Century Amphora-Form Gray Glaze Ceramic & Bronze Table Lamp by James Mont

$4,475.00

This substantial Mid-Century Amphora-Form Gray Glaze Ceramic & Bronze Table Lamp by James Mont originated in the United States, circa 1950. The body is modeled as a classical amphora with a rounded shoulder that tapers to a narrow neck and is finished in a variegated gray organic glaze that suggests slow-drip and brush application. Twin scrolling handles rise from the shoulder and return toward the neck, providing sculptural movement and a classical reference seen from every angle. Subtle variations in tone and surface texture reward close viewing and emphasize the handmade quality of the ceramic construction. The neck is capped by a dark-finished collar and a vertical stem that rises to a twin-socket cluster fitted for two Edison-base bulbs, and the piece rests on a low circular plinth finished in a dark lacquer. The combination of textured earthenware and darker metal fittings creates a refined contrast between the glazed body and its hardware. Executed by James Mont, the lamp pairs a composed silhouette with expressive glaze work typical of Mid-Century ceramic lighting. Excellent Vintage Condition, this piece has been rewired to US standards.
