Ceramic lamp base, antonio lampecco, ca 1980

Rare ceramic lamp base made by the now world-renowned ceramicist antonio lampecco circa 1970. Like a vase with a small neck (typical of lampecco), this lamp base is ovoid in shape. The images clearly show that the hole for the electrical cable is originally designed (enamel inside the hole). In excellent condition, this lamp is fully functional. It uses e23 bulbs, compatible with led models. Biography: antonio alberto lampecco (minucciano, 1932) is a belgian ceramicist known for his round spherical vases and small necks.
