Mid-Century Modern Stiffel Style Cream Ceramic Ginger Jar Table Lamps - Pair
This is a matching pair of table lamps featuring a classic ginger jar or 'temple' silhouette, characterized by a bulbous mid-section and a stepped rectangular neck. The bodies are constructed from high-quality ceramic finished in a glossy, opaque cream or off-white glaze that reflects light evenly. Each lamp is mounted on a circular, stepped brass-plated metal pedestal base with a polished gold-tone finish. The electrical hardware consists of a standard brass socket with a push-through switch, secured by a decorative brass harp and matching finial at the top. The overall design language suggests an American Mid-Century Modern or Hollywood Regency aesthetic, likely dating from the 1960s to early 1980s. The craftsmanship is indicative of high-end manufacturers from that era, such as Stiffel or Laurel. Regarding condition, the ceramic bodies appear to be in excellent structural shape with no visible cracks, chips, or crazing. The brass plating on the bases shows minor surface oxidation and light scuffing consistent with age, while the electrical cords are brown, two-prong varieties that appear original and flexible. Note that lamp shades are currently missing from the assembly.
