Spanish Mid-Century Ceramic Pitcher Green and Black Mudéjar Style, Punter

Lovingly hand-crafted by Amitābha Studio from a vintage Punter Teruel vase in a baluster form, this lamp exemplifies the richness of Spanish Revival design paired with mid-century artistry. The rounded body rises gracefully to a tall neck, its surface coated in a creamy tin glaze and painted freehand in the distinctive loza verdimorada palette of green and manganese black. This striking chromatic language, unique to Teruel ceramics, traces directly back to the medieval Mudéjar traditions of Aragón, where similar motifs once adorned both domestic tablewares and the city’s iconic glazed towers. The decoration is arranged in framed compartments across the body: a heraldic lion, a stylized bird, and geometric devices executed in bold black linework. Along the lower register runs a rhythmic frieze of pinecone medallions, a traditional symbol of abundance and vitality. The motifs, painted with expressive brushwork, exemplify the revival style pioneered by Domingo Punter and his contemporaries, who reinterpreted medieval patterns with modern fluidity. At the foot, the reddish terracotta clay is revealed, inscribed with the bold mark “PUNTER,” confirming the piece’s authenticity. To balance the ceramic base, Amitābha Studio has paired the lamp with a custom lampshade in a green, black, and white tweed weave. The textured fabric recalls couture textiles, while the double-cord passementerie trim by Houlès adds refinement. When lit, the lamp casts a warm, inviting glow that emphasizes its sculptural silhouette and intricate surface design. This Spanish Revival lamp...

This set of nine Mid-Century Modern sculptural ceramic vessels exemplifies the refined clarity and geometric restraint that shaped European design in the postwar decades.

Influenced by Bauhaus principles, these vessels balance functional purity with expressive form. Many incorporate symbolic motifs such as the Alpha Omega, Chi-Rho, cross, or dove, reflecting the unique intersection of modernist design and spiritual iconography explored by Theodor Bogler...
