Table lamp base from the Space Age, probably dating from the 1970s, likely of Italian production. The spherical body is made of white glazed ceramic and punctuated with circles featuring chrome finishes. No manufacturer's mark has been identified, so the Italian origin remains probable but unconfirmed. The lamp base is sold without a lampshade.
