About the Item

Exquisitely handcrafted in Amsterdam by Amitābha Studio, this striking table lamp is made from an antique French faience vase attributed to Géo Martel of Desvres, dating from the early 20th century (circa 1900–1920). A rare example of French Delft-style revival, the vase is marked with the signature “LF/5/1,” a known homage to 17th-century Dutch potteries such as De Metaale Pot under Lambertus van Eenhoorn. This richly detailed ceramic base is painted in the characteristic “cashmere” palette—featuring vibrant tones of iron red, cobalt blue, jade green, and ochre on a soft ivory tin-glazed ground. Decorative motifs include stylized peonies and prunus blossoms, pagoda-like architecture, and meandering garden landscapes—classic elements of chinoiserie, rendered with precision and vitality. Bold foliate cartouches and baroque-inspired framing add layered visual interest, lending the piece a truly cross-cultural elegance. The lamp is topped with a custom drum shade in forest green satin, echoing the verdant tones in the ceramic and providing a dramatic modern contrast. As always, the lamp was created without harming the original vase in any way. Géo Martel (active circa 1900–1940) was one of the most respected figures in Desvres ceramics, known for his exacting revival of Delftware and other historic European faience styles. His works are highly collectible for their artistic fidelity and technical brilliance. ⸻ Please note: The lamp is fully wired for use in the U.S. Additionally, the listed height includes the lampshade. We also ensure compatibility for global use by offering a free plug customization service to match the electrical standards of your specific country. For U.S. customers: Any new tariff-related surcharges are already included in our shipment costs. We take care of these fees in advance so there are no unexpected charges upon delivery. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us! ⸻ About Géo Martel, Desvres: Desvres, a town in the Pas-de-Calais region of northern France, became a center for faience in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Among its most esteemed artisans was Georges Martel—known as Géo Martel—who operated from around 1900 to 1940. His ceramics stand out for their fidelity to 17th-century Dutch Delftware, often incorporating carefully crafted imitation marks to align his work with that legacy. Unlike more eclectic or mass-market Desvres potteries, Martel’s pieces are valued for their technical excellence and historical sensitivity. Today, his work is increasingly sought after for its authenticity, decorative strength, and quiet refinement. About Amitābha Studio: Amitābha Studio is an Amsterdam-based design atelier dedicated to transforming historic European ceramics into one-of-a-kind lighting objects. Each lamp is crafted with deep reverence for the original form, using non-invasive methods that preserve the integrity of every antique or vintage vase. We pair these bases with bespoke lampshades—often made from luxurious textiles such as vintage sari silks or fine European fabrics—and finish each piece with carefully selected cords, fittings, and handmade brass elements. Our work is guided by a commitment to sustainability, cultural heritage, and timeless design.

Spanish Revival Mid-Century Benlloch Manises Ceramic Table Lamp
By Manuel Benlloch
Located in AMSTERDAM, NL
Meticulously hand-crafted by Amitābha Studio from a vintage Manuel Benlloch Manises vase, this table lamp captures the spirit of Spanish Revival design. The tall, hexagonal base is finished in an ivory crackle glaze, a hallmark of Benlloch wares, and painted freehand in a bold palette of cobalt blue, rust-orange, and cream. Its rich patterning draws on Spain’s historic Hispano-Moresque and Mudéjar traditions, translated here into a vibrant mid-century ceramic form. Each of the six faces is framed by cobalt ribs and filled with repeating ogee arches, lattice lozenges, and scrolling arabesques. The rhythmic interplay of color and geometry creates a bold yet refined surface, perfectly balancing ornament and structure. The underside bears the hand-painted signature “Benlloch España,” affirming its authenticity as a product of this renowned Manises workshop, active across three generations in the 20th century. To echo the vase’s architectural silhouette, Amitābha Studio has paired the base with a new bespoke hexagonal lampshade. Crafted in warm Dupion silk in tones of orange, peach, and gold, the fabric’s natural texture harmonizes with the arabesques on the ceramic. A Houlès passementerie trim completes the design, while the shade’s golden glow enhances the lamp’s sculptural presence when illuminated. This Spanish Revival lamp...
