Description
A whimsical blue ceramic oil lamp designed by Swedish artist Kurt Sahlin for KEB Keramiks. This charming piece takes the form of a playful upside-down figure, reflecting Sahlin’s humorous and slightly irreverent approach to Scandinavian studio ceramics.
Crafted in glazed stoneware, this lamp perfectly balances artistic charm with functional craftsmanship. The bold blue glaze enhances the sculptural form, while the figurative design brings a light-hearted, characterful presence to any space. It serves beautifully both as a decorative object and as a usable oil lamp.
