French Vintage Ceramic Table Lamp in the Style of Georges Pelletier (circa 1970s)

French vintage ceramic table lamp in the style of Georges Pelletier (circa 1970s). A combination of pistachio-green and cream glaze form the hues in the decorated bands encircling the body of the piece. Clearly inspired by Pelletier's works, it has two bulbs: one on top and one which illuminates the interior inserted from the hollow in the base. The light which emanates is atmospheric and diffused via the beaded large and small apertures. There is an illegible scrawl just on the inside of the base which may be the remnants of a signature. Currently wired for use in Europe, it is easily modified for your location with an adapter or a change of plug. Lampshade for display only and not part of the sale. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video will be provided.  

This work inspired by the Artist: Georges Pelletier (1938-2024) was born in Brussels, Belgium. He started his training at the Academy Charpentier in Paris (School of Arts and Crafts) in the building which is now the Picasso Museum. After that period, Pelletier worked at the Atelier Claude Pantzer, the renowned Accolay pottery. In 1961 the artist opened his own studio in Paris where he created his first unique pieces. His work was noted by the Bobois furniture house for his evident creativity and talent and was subsequently asked to supply Roche Bobois with their lighting collections between 1961 and 1973. In 1973 Pelletier followed the sun to the South of France in the city of Cannes where he set up a new workshop where his son, Benjamin, continues creating identical pieces today.
