This table lamp, crafted in Germany in the 1970s, takes the form of a seated dog and exemplifies decorative design from that era. Made entirely of porcelain, its construction is monolithic and seamless, sitting solidly on a stable base with the original period switch located on the cord. The main color is a creamy ivory, contrasted by hand-painted brown accents on the ears, paws, and portions of the fur. The porcelain surface is highly glossy, emphasizing sculptural details: soft, rounded lines, an expressive face, and a carefully modeled fur texture. A distinctive feature is the series of small, round holes atop the dog's head—originally intended to diffuse cigarette smoke, giving the lamp a dual function as a so-called "smoke eater." The overall style is rooted in mid-century kitsch, with exaggerated forms and a playful, whimsical approach to decoration. The lamp is in very good condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs; the glaze and hand-painted details are complete and even.This porcelain dog carries the playful spirit of the 1970s—a period when everyday interiors embraced wit and decorative flourish. Its form evokes nostalgia for the home trinket: an object meant to lighten the mood and infuse a touch of humor. The perforations on the head recall the rituals of a bygone era—salon evenings
