Unique table lamp handmade probably in the 1970s by artist Jette Hellerøe in Denmark. The lamp is made from yellow glazed stoneware and decorated with black abstract geometric figures and glazed in an expressive glossy glazing. The lamp is a beautiful example of Jette Hellerøe's very expressive and powerful ceramic style.Stamped with "the artist's name and number "51". The lamp's base measures 30 cm in height and 18 cm in diametre. The lamp has been rewired for European plug so it can be used with adapter or easily rewired for use elswhere by a local electrician.

While Hans J. Wegner, Kaare Klint and Finn Juhl led the way for the success of Denmarks dominance at the field of modern furniture production Danish arts and crafts was also flourishing. The most well-known names are probably Silversmith George Jensen, Ceramist Axel Salto and Woodworker Kay Bojesen, but despite Denmark's modest size, there were a multitude of small workshops with arts and crafts that produced high-quality objects to everyday life. Much of it was sold directly from the workshops, but also more established shops such as "Den Permanente" and "Illums Bolighus" in Copenhagen exhibited and sold works from these workshops in the 1940-70s.
