ABOUT PRODUCTID 16735
This ceramic wall sconce from 1970s Poland exemplifies modernist design through its interplay of form, contrast, and material. The base consists of glossy, deep black glazed ceramic adorned with a fine, irregular pattern of white speckles, echoing a starlit night sky. Its softly curved silhouette gently cradles a perfectly spherical, milky white glass globe with a satin-matte finish. The junction of ceramic and glass is executed in a minimalist manner, with no visible fittings or extraneous detailing—every element is stripped down to emphasize the purity of modernist intent. The proportions are thoughtfully balanced; the spherical globe is matched harmoniously to the organic ceramic base. The lamp accepts standard E14 bulbs. It is preserved in excellent condition, with no visible marks, chips, or repairs. This lamp whispers of the aspirations of 1970s Polish design, where simplicity and abstract patterning took on symbolic meaning. The interplay of lustrous ceramic black and the soft, frosted glass evokes the nocturnal atmosphere and diffused light, as though the sconce seeks to recount a time when modernity embraced bold notions of light and material. The galaxy-like patterning invites imagination beyond the prosaic, offering an almost cosmic touch typical of the era’s optimism. Such sconces can be used to accent a minimalist bathroom, positioned above mirrors in spaces defined by crisp whites or greys, where the glass and ceramic create a dialogue of light. They equally suit kitchens or above nightstands in a bedroom, especially paired
