Stunning example of a Gordon and Jane Martz lamp, a hand thrown studio pottery shop, their mid century designs are well sought after.
This piece is a small bedside lamp, or a side lamp. We are not offering the shade with purchase, it's not original and doesn't even fit the lamp, it was what is handy and isn't worth the cost of shipping. This piece is in a fairly rare blue glaze, almost a denim coloration.
Gordon Martz and Jane Marshall (1929-2007) met while they were studen...ts at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred NY. In 1951, they joined the Marshall Studios in Veedersburg, Indiana, founded by Jane's grandmother Jesse in 1922, and operated by the family including Jane's father Nicholas Marshall and her mother Grace, originally to produce lampshades and woodwork. For the next 38 years, the Martzes at Marshall Studios designed and produced a wide variety of functional ceramic housewares including stoneware lamps, dishes, and tiles. The bodies of their ware were formed by slip-casting, ram pressing, or jiggering, and the pieces were hand decorated. Their work was recognized by a design award from the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, which also has some of their work in its permanent collection.
We're happy to rewire this piece, and structure it to have a harp. Please message. $25.00 fee applies.

Cheers!
As always you'll never overpay for shipping. We love to combine shipping costs on more than one order. If the price you pay for shipping is over the actual shipping costs by $1.00 or more we refund the entire difference. Eg.: one order might be cheaper to ship to the midwest in a 12 x 12 x 8 inch box, but if you're on the west coast it might be cheaper to fit in a Flat rate priority box. You'll get refunded the savings.
