This is one of a number of pretty vintage pieces of Scottish Studio pottery made by Davidson available in my online store.
This is an attractive pottery table lamp that was made by the Scottish potter, Barbara Davidson and dates to the 1970s when she established her own pottery at Muirhall Farm, Larbert.
Her work has always featured pretty stoneware bowls decorated with abstract designs relating to the sea, sky or shoreline. The pattern is typical of her work and is a variant design called Clouds. This one has pale blue and grey loosely painted abstract shapes in the round on the lamp. They are quite Japanese in inspiration and execution. The glaze on the main body of the lamp is a grey-tinged egg-shell or satin finish. It is very tactile.
Her pottery was founded in 1969 - to this piece must date to just after this time.
Barbara was brought up in Argyll on the West Coast of Scotland, and in 1964 attended Glasgow School of Art.
One of her largest commissions was a larger ceramic mural measuring some 7 feet in length and 4 feet in height - this can still be seen in the Ladies Waiting Room at Queen Street Station in Glasgow.
These fine stoneware pieces by Davidson - with a fine abstract pattern, slightly reminiscent of works by Alan Caiger-Smith. This piece has not only the original paper label from her studio - but also has her impressed mark, as photographed.
These attractive lamp bases by her are so much harder to find (reflected in my asking price) . It is in fantastic condition - clean with no damages and would look good with a simple white drum light shade to set it off.
Dimensions: The lamp is 10 inches in height and with a diameter of 5 1/2 inches. It is 1.6 kg in weight (unpacked).
Due to the size and the weight - this will have to be sent to you with Parcelforce48 in the UK. This would cost £10 and be applied at checkout. If you are interested in any other lovely pots by her on my website - postage would be capped at £10.
