This rare and generously sized table lamp was designed and produced by niels preben larsen in his own workshop at sjællands odde, denmark, in 1970. The lamp is signed "npl sj. Odd 3/70" on the underside of the base. the sculptural design features a tall, tapering stoneware body set on a flared base with a radially lobed form. It is finished in a flowing glaze in deep brown and black tones with subtle tonal variation. The glaze follows the sculpted contours of the body, while the lower part of the base is left unglazed, revealing the warm brown stoneware. The lamp is paired with a custom gently tapered drum shade in cream colefax and fowler silk. a smaller version from the same design series is also shown in the listing.
