Italo Casini Ceramic Lava Glaze Table Lamp, 1950s

Italian Mid-Century Modern Ceramic Table Lighting

This Italian table lamp by Italo Casini from the 1950s features a striking lava glaze ceramic body with bold volcanic textures and colorful inclusions. Mounted on a dark wood base with a brass stem, it balances sculptural artistry with functionality. The replaced cream fabric shade softens the lamp’s dramatic form, casting a warm and inviting glow.

Lava glaze ceramic craftsmanship
The heavily textured surface highlights Casini’s experimental approach to ceramics, where molten glazes create organic craters and vibrant patches of color. Each angle reveals new visual depth, making this lamp as much a sculptural statement as a lighting piece.

Italian mid-century design heritage
Casini’s works embody the spirit of post-war Italian modernism, combining artisanal techniques with bold artistic experimentation. This collectible lamp remains both functional and highly decorative, adding character to mid-century, eclectic, or contemporary interiors.
