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 fantastic ceramic table lamp in a delicious decor - a caramel brown glaze with black accents.
This retro gem has been paired with a hand-made lamp shade made out of vintage fabric, courtesy of our friends at Retrotastik. 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.
Note there are a few ways you could display the pattern; we have provided two examples.
This beauty measures 72cm (28") tall including the shade, 35cm tall not including the shade or light fixture.
It has been professionally rewired with a new cable to meet Australian electrical standards. Essentially, it's all ready to go!
