An elegant pair of double-gourd form ceramic vases, now adapted as table lamps, displaying the rare and alluring beauty of crystalline glazes. The rounded silhouette, with its softly tapering neck and balanced proportions, provides an ideal surface for the glaze’s extraordinary effects.
The finish is a remarkable interplay of warm tones—creamy ivory flowing into rich coral and vibrant vermilion. Across this surface, star-like crystalline blooms scatter with natural irregularity, their delicate petal-like forms catching the light and offering endless visual depth. These floating crystal formations are the hallmark of zinc-silicate crystalline glaze, achieved through a precise firing process that allows crystals to grow within the molten glaze during cooling.
No two crystalline works are ever alike, and this pair embodies the unpredictability and artistry of the technique, with each lamp presenting its own constellation of organic, shimmering patterns.
Available with or without shades (sold separately), these lamps bring both colour and texture into any interior, from modern eclectic spaces to refined classical settings. Their distinctive palette and luminous surface make them decorative works of art in their own right.
