Yesterday's purchase also in a Melbourne op shop, this (mid-century?) Italian table lamp. It is about 1 meter high, entirely made of ceramic and rather nicely detailed.
Research on the chinoiserie style and the Italian origin of this lamp, have lead me to the great designer Marcello Fontani although neither the quality , nor the signature match his work.
It could have been manufactured by C&B which later became B&B, (the famous Cassina & Busnelli designers), but I cannot confirm this information as yet. If you pop by through a forum where I have posted this piece, feel free to add your comments below. Meanwhile, I will keep on posting more interesting objects late at night as always, and from now on under the warm glow of this lamp.
