This German ceramic wall sconce from the 1960s exemplifies the mid-century modern aesthetic typical of the era. Crafted from a single piece of cool white ceramic, it features an organically streamlined silhouette with no visible seams or fasteners on the front. The sconce consists of a gently rounded, elongated shade and a softly contoured, oval base that attaches flush to the wall. Its glossy surface reflects light subtly, accentuating the smooth curves and delicate vertical striations in the glaze. The fixture accommodates a single E14 light source. It is preserved in very good condition: no chips, discoloration, or damage, and the lustrous finish remains intact. This sconce seems to echo the story of German design in the 1960s, when clarity and economy of form were paramount. The pure line and white ceramic evoke the optimism of the postwar era—light filtering through the rounded shade creates a gentle, understated glow, inviting a moment of calm. The faint vertical textures in the glaze allude to careful craftsmanship, while the aerodynamic form recalls modernist experiments with material and illumination. The sconce could serve as a subtle wall light in a living room, pairing well with furniture of clean lines or other ceramic accessories. It would also suit a bedroom above a bedside table or a hallway as a luminous accent near the entrance. Interiors in a mid-century modern, minimalist, or vintage collector’s spirit might benefit from its soft lighting effect; it could be combined with teak wood, warm veneers, or graphite-toned glass to emphasize its timeless neutrality. The lamp features a single E14 socket (bulb not included). Dimensions: 20 x 8 x 9 cm. The smooth ceramic surface is easy to maintain—gentle dusting
