A rare and striking ceramic table lamp by Georges Pelletier, created in France in the 1960s. This sculptural, totemic form exemplifies Pelletier's fusion of architectural presence, celestial symbolism and richly textured ceramic surfaces.

The lamp's hand-turned body is adorned with Pelletier's iconic circular pierced "sun" motifs, each meticulously cut and arranged in rhythmic bands that animate the lamp's silhouette. Alternating glazed and matte textures, earthy ochres, deep charcoals and warm browns create depth and subtle luminosity, even when the lamp is not lit. When illuminated, the perforations project atmospheric halos of light, underscoring the artist's fascination with cosmic rays and lanterns.

This example is remarkable for its monumental scale and dramatic gourd-like composition, moving from a narrow neck to a rounded midsection and weighted base. The surface bears Pelletier's characteristic tactile finish: stratified slip, scorched glazes and hand-applied incised marks that evoke both Brutalist architecture and Mediterranean craft traditions.

Complemented by a large cylindrical shade in textured natural fiber that complements the organic ceramic body.

Dimensions with shade: ø32 H145cm
