About the Item

Beautifully glazed in tones of blue, gray, white and tan, this unique lamp base by the famed Rookwood company in Cincinnati features a series of magnolia branches laden with flowers, accompanied by several blue birds. The glaze has a misty, soft quality, accented by a lovely craquelure effect, and the entire scene is magical. Rookwood was the largest and most successful art pottery in America for several decades, producing artistic wares from the late 19th century into the 1950s. Best known for its Arts and Crafts pieces in the early 20th century, the company also produced fine Art Deco ware into the 1940s. (Dimensions include the light socket; the porcelain lamp base itself is 15.5 inches high).

"Exchange of Cultures, " High Style Art Deco Porcelain Lamp Base w/ Nudes by Robj

By ROBJ

Located in Philadelphia, PA

Illustrated in "Ceramiche Robj" and considered a major design by the renowned sculptor and ceramicist, this large piece was probably made in early 1930s to coincide with the debut of the Exposition Coloniale Internationale in Paris, which attracted almost 9 million visitors in less than a year. Rare and striking, this porcelain table lamp base depicts the globe surmounted by a tightly composed cluster of nude and semi-nude female figures representing cultures around the world. The women depicted here, all glazed in a gorgeous snow-white glaze highlighted in gold, are clearly representing a range of nations in Asia and Africa, probably coinciding with the nations that were part of the French Colonial Empire in the 1930s, before they won their freedom. Much like the one surviving building from the Exposition, now the Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration, which features a massive bas relief mural...
