Alma & Mirta Table Lamps from Vintage De Sphinx, 1920s, Set of 2

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Meet Alma & Mirta, named after Davide’s (one of the founders of Amitabha Studio) grandmothers! These one-of-a-kind lamps have been lovingly handcrafted from two vintage vases made by De Sphinx (formerly Petrus Regout) in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The shades were handmade by an atelier in Amsterdam in a funky blue green leopard print on ivory linen.

The underglaze decoration was applied by hand by means of transfer print: a method in which a monochrome print of the design on paper—from an engraved copper or steel plate—was transferred on to the vase by pressing it onto the ceramic piece. This process allowed for the production of incredibly detailed items, which would have been impossible to produce by hand-painting.
