Bjorn Wiinblad (Danish,1918-2006)

A Pair of Blue and White Ceramic Lamps
Mid 20th century
Painted ceramic
Unmarked
54 inches (137.2 cm) tall


Bjorn Wiinblad used his art to adorn utilitarian works such as candle holders, urns and jardinières. Here he used his talent with the brush to adorn these two 54-inch lamps. An oriental woman delicately holds a fan in an outdoor scene, all depicted in Wiinblad's masterful use of the cobalt blue. The globular bases of the lamps are topped by a fluted, darker blue neck which is fitted with modern electrical sockets for bulbs. The color contrasts are subtle against the pure white bases of the lamps. Wiinblad makes maximum use of shading to achieve depth and detail of his subject. The lamps have a shiny enamel finish and are in excellent condition.
