Ellis Ceramics was an Australian pottery set up in 1953 by a Czechoslovakian couple, Dasa and Milda Kratochvil, in the backyard of their home in Abbotsford, Melbourne.

Their work is mainly slip-cast earthenware although they did experiment at one stage with stoneware and also made a small variety of wheel-thrown bowls and plates.

Many pieces are hand decorated or carved, some by art students. This makes each piece individual even when produced from the same mold.

 

THIS LISTING

A fabulous ceramic table lamp in a fabulous decor - a dark teal green 'starburst' horizontal band, with a dark metallic copper coloured base. 

Paired with a hand-made lamp shade made out of vintage fabric in the colours of the same dark teal, purple and off-white, courtesy of our friends at Retrotastik. The pattern can be seen in a couple different ways, as demonstrated in the pictures.

The lamp base is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks or any other flaws to mention.

Please note the lamp shade may have some inconsistencies in the pattern and fabric itself being vintage, however it is free from damage.

This beauty measures a whopping 90cm (36") tall including the shade.

It has been professionally rewired with a new cable to meet Australian electrical standards. Essentially, it's all ready to go!
