1980 Vintage Base for Table Lamp

This splendid table lamp base boasts a unique allure enhanced by the mesmerizing hues achieved by the combination of various decorating techniques. Handcrafted at the Ceramiche Alvino Bagni (Florence) in the 1980s, the elongated silhouette is crafted on a lathe of red clay and finished using a mixed technique. The pattern is created by applying liquid wax on the red clay, and after the glaze is applied and fired, the wax burns leaving a design with colors and ceramic textures. The final details are painted by hand with a brush using cold-patina paint.
