About the Item

French vintage ceramic table lamp by Albert Thiry (circa 1970s). Not one of his usual subjects or motifs, ceramicist Thiry created the figure - an upright clerical - wearing an old fashioned ruff collar with hands that edge out of the robe to hold a rounded vessel of sorts. A stunning ceramic artwork that can be both utilitarian as a table lamp, or simply used as a decorative object for display. As currently configured, the light bulb housing is fitted loosely to the ceramic (not a permanent attachment). When standing on a table as a lamp, however, this has no adverse visual effect and the lampshade sits evenly on the piece. The maker's signature appears on the base of the piece. It is in overall good condition, currently configured electrically for UK use. It can be easily reconfigured for use in your area. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video will be provided. (The lampshade is included with this piece). About the Artist: Albert Thiry (1932-2009) was born in Nice, France. His family moved to Vallauris where he spent most of the school holidays in the potteries; in 1956 he was taken on as an assistant decorator with an opportunity to make his own pieces. Albert and his wife, Pyot, set up their own pottery in 1961. Their standard production, in Vallauris clay with added grog to emphasise rusticity, resulted in delightful pieces both highly elaborate and utilitarian. Dimensions of ceramic only: H 43 cm / 16.9" W 15 cm / 5.9" D 15 cm / 5.9" Dimensions including lampshade: H 64 cm / 25.2" W 30 cm / 11.8" D 19 cm / 7.5"

French Vintage Ceramic Table Lamp by Roger Capron, circa 1950s
By Roger Capron
Located in London, GB
French decorative ceramic lamp with hand-painted horse by Roger Capron (circa 1950s). This is Capron's 'Coupe n°2 lamp' which is signed in the interior of the vertical base. A rare piece indeed, hand-painted with a stylised horse in his inimitable style. The ceramic is in fair overall condition showing some fading and marks commensurate with age and usage. This is an exceptional piece for admirers of the works of master ceramicist, Roger Capron. Signed: 'Capron Vallauris'. Lampshade shown in photos is 30 cm (11.8") in diameter and will be included when requested. Currently wired for usage in the UK but you can have it adapted to your location. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video can be provided. About the Artist: The mid-century ceramic art of Roger Capron (1922-2006) embodied the vibrant spirit and verve of Vallauris and the French Côte d'Azur. He took over an abandoned pottery studio at the age of 24 in Vallauris, where he worked with Robert Picault and then Jean Derval. Capron’s ceramic workshop, known as "l'Atelier Callis", contributed to the renaissance of ceramics in Vallauris and at its peak employed over 120 ceramicists. He eventually expanded his production of vases, pitchers and other functional wares to include coffee tables with hand glazed tiles, lamp bases, wall plaques and other interior decor objects along with sculptural statues...
