Magnificent large ceramic lamp base with a beautiful flamed glaze in shades of blue, caramel and chocolate. This ceramic is not signed but it is the result of very beautiful handcrafted work of turning and glazing, and which closely resembles the work of the ceramist Alphonse Mouton known as Alpho. This lamp probably dates from the 50s or 60s. The electrical part is complete (bayonet bulb socket, lampshade retaining ring, wiring, switch and electrical plug) but I do not know if the whole thing is original, perhaps the wiring was revised in the 70s. Indeed, I have already come across similar lamps with older wiring (fabric-covered wire, open socket underneath)). I tested the lamp, it works. This lamp is in good general condition, no defects on the ceramic but it obviously has some signs that testify to its age: the metal parts (probably brass) are patinated, the metal part holding the bulb has a small tear, it is not a problem for use at the moment and if it were to get worse (but there is no reason if you do not tear the bulb when changing it), it is a part that can be found very easily in flea markets or even new. The switch and the electrical plug have some various marks. The ceramic base measures 20 cm in height, 21 cm in maximum diameter. With the socket, the height is approximately 26 cm. If necessary, I can give you the contact details of a lampshade maker (nice custom work, reasonable price, sent in a parcel).
