Large faience lamp from Clamecy signed Roger Colas, 1960s. Synthetic fabric lampshade in the shape of a lily of the valley bell, with beveled edges topped with amber glass pendants. Roger Colas (1907–1993) was a French ceramist and faïencier, born in Dornecy, near Clamecy.

He began his career at the Duquénelle faience factory in Clamecy around 1925, then took over the management of the factory in 1937.

During World War II, he was mobilized, became a prisoner in Germany, and his wife Fernande took over the management of the company. Roger Colas is known for his creative talent: he designed almost all the shapes, models, and molds of the Clamecy faience, laying the foundations for a family know-how that continues.

He is also the father of the famous navigator Alain Colas.

In 1972, he passed management to his son Jean-François, who continued and modernized the activity, notably by introducing the production of fèves for galettes des rois in the 1980s. Total height 67.5 cm. Lampshade diameter 40 cm. L: 40 W: 40 H: 67
