Vallauris - Lamp - Ceramic - Vintage lamp in the shape of a pierced amphora

Magnificent and spectacular amphora-shaped lamp with drilled ceramic, attributed to the famous Vallauris workshops (mid-20th century / 1950s-1970s). This baroque and highly detailed piece features a true underwater marine landscape: - Relief sculpted decor: Presence of a large bright red crab, polychrome fish, a seahorse, and finely worked marine/coral formations. - Exceptional finishes: Spotted and nuanced enamels in turquoise blue, aqua, brown and black tones, enhanced by beautiful touches of gold gilding on the borders and sculpted details. - Lighting function: A socket is integrated into the cavity. When lit, the light filters through the amphora and illuminates the underwater decor with a magical, fairy-like effect. Technical specifications Origin: Vallauris, France Style / Era: Vintage / Modernist - 1950s-70s Material: Enamelled ceramic, gilding Dimensions: Height ~30 cm | Width ~30 cm Electrical system: Cable present, socket located in the inner cavity. Condition Overall exterior condition: The enamels and gilding remain very vivid. Defect to note: Inside the decor, the tails of two fish are broken/missing (see photo detail). Due to the density of the interior decor and the depth of the cavity, this remains relatively discreet once the lamp is placed or lit, but the piece is sold as-is or for restoration. Delivery & Packaging Very careful and secure shipping: reinforced packaging with bubble wrap and double cardboard to protect the remaining sculpted elements.
