This table lamp is made of glazed ceramic in the style of Roger Capron, in the tradition of ceramics associated with Vallauris, southern France, during the 1960s. The round, flattened base features the Herbier motif, a double fern leaf design incised into the clay before glazing, so the leaves are slightly recessed under a warm sand-toned glaze that shifts between ochre and pale green depending on the light. The neck rises in a narrow column towards the lamp holder, maintaining a low and stable silhouette. The base is sealed at the bottom, a typical detail in studio ceramics from this era and region. Its compact size and organic profile make it suitable for a console, bedside table or shelf, where accent lighting is needed without taking up too much space. The botanical engraving feels like an artist's gesture, not a printed pattern, giving the piece a handcrafted and sculptural character that pairs well with mid-century furniture or contemporary interiors built with natural materials and neutral tones. The lamp is sold as a ceramic base only; the shade shown is for reference and not included. Ready to use in the United States. Height 22 cm (8.7 in), Width 25 cm (9.8 in).
