Vintage Accolay lamp – amber resin lampshade and ceramic base. Table lamp from the Accolay workshops, a community of potters located in Accolay (Yonne) in Burgundy, active from 1945 to 1983.
A characteristic piece of French production from the 1960s-1970s, combining handcrafted ceramics and decorative resin. The lampshade: cylindrical in shape, made of resin including numerous shards and fragments of amber, gold, and copper colors, creating a highly sought-after granular and luminous material effect in Accolay production.
Light passes through the resin and reveals the richness of the chromatic inclusions. The base: turned ceramic, with a curved and bulging shape, covered in a cracked white glaze accentuated with fine black stripes and speckles applied in a spiral, typical of the scarified slip work practiced by the potters of Accolay. Era: 1960s-1970s. Origin: Accolay workshops, France. Dimensions: H. 72 cm D. lampshade 31 cm L: 31 W: 31 H: 72.
