    Description

    DANISH HAND MADE, HAND PAINTED
    FLORAL BOUQUET TABLE LAMP
    FROM
    ILLONA KERAMIK OF DENMARK
    This style of pottery was VERY popular in Denmark in the 1940's
    and 1950's. I have read that there is currently a resurgence in its popularity.
    That doesn't surprise me, the motifs are so sweet and are so beautiful!
    Nature themes and floral designs have always been Scandinavian favorites!
    Signed by the artist with the incised signature of "illona" "216"
    it is lightly stamped in ink "Made in Denmark".
    This lovely handcrafted floral bouquet lamp measures 20 inches tall from the base
    to the top of the brass harp.
    The lamp measures 10 inches from the base to the top of the ceramic neck.
    The diameter at the widest point is almost 7 inches.
    This lamp has a 3-way light socket.
    It is in excellent, used condition!
    No light bulb or shade is included.
    HISTORY OF ILLONA STUDIO POTTERY:
    The information on illona studio pottery is sketchy at best!
    After hours of research, this is what I have found.
    The information listed below, may or may not be accurate.
    Illona Keramik was supposedly founded by Marton Schwarz, who lived from 1899-1980.
    I found ONE picture of Illona pottery
    on the internet signed with the initials MS,
    so this could be true!
    Illona was supposedly a "painter girl" at Lars Syberg Keramik at one time.
    This I believe, as the art work produced by Illona is
    decorated
    in the
    same style
    as many of the Syberg pieces. Sometimes the art looks so similar
    that you have to read the pottery mark to know which pottery produced it.
    Illona's last name may have been Strøbæk.
    Supposedly the studio pottery was located in the town of Gentofte, Denmark.
    Gentofte is north of Copenhagen, on the island of Zealand.
    PLEASE REFER TO PICTURES AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.
    Your order will be well-packed, double-boxed and insured.
    The double-boxing adds to the weight of the item but since
    this lamp is a piece of history & irreplaceable,
    I think it's worth it to get it to you safely!
    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
    NO COMBINED SHIPPING AVAILABLE WITH THIS LAMP.
    THANK YOU!
