About the Item

This unique Scandinavian Modern table lamp was crafted by Tilgmans Keramik in Sweden during the 1950s. The curvaceous earthenware base is hand-decorated in a sgraffito technique, showcasing a vivid yellow and blue butterfly against a backdrop of green, grey, and white leaf forms, accented by a red band at the foot. The surface displays a textured, almost etched look, with dusty, subdued tones giving it a soft, organic feel. Painted on the underside is “Tilgmans, SJ” — the initials of artist Siv Jakobsson, a known contributor to the studio’s more expressive work. This piece stands out for its decorative quality and balance of color and form, making it a collectible example of mid-century Swedish ceramic artistry. Dimensions: – Height without lamp fitting: 18.7 cm – With lamp fitting: 25 cm – Total height with lampshade: 32 cm – Diameter: 8.6 cm The lampshades in the photo are not included but may be available on request. Additional costs may apply depending on shipping. We can fit the lamp with either an EU, UK, or US plug at no extra cost.
