This German ceramic wall sconce from the 1960s reflects the essence of mid-century modern design, where geometric structure meets artisanal precision. The lamp is composed of two vertically stacked square modules, each with softly rounded edges and a central opening for E14 bulbs, set within a gently recessed area. The surface is finished in a deep, dark brown glaze with a high-gloss, mirror-like sheen that reflects both light and its surroundings, lending the piece a dynamic, almost metallic character. The smooth ceramic accentuates the quality of craftsmanship, while the balanced proportions of the modules create a calm, rhythmic composition. A black power cord emerges from the base, and mounting holes on the back allow for wall installation, though the flat base enables tabletop use as well.
