Vintage from the 1950sThis is a 1958 Mid Century Miramar Pottery Company Television lamp with side planters in an Asian influenced style.These lamps were very popular in the home and sat atop the family's floor model television set, using a low watt bulb for a type of mood or night light. This was made at the beginning of the Miramar line. This lamp consists of three parts. The two outside compartments can be utilized as planters, the centerpiece holds the working light bulb and fixture. The lamp measures approx. 7 2" high x 11.5" long x 4 " deep. The glaze is black. The metal base has 4 feet. The lamp works as shown in the photos and does seem to have the original cord. Good condition with expected wear and surface scratches on vases and base. There is a corner chip on the bottom of one of the planters which does not show at all when assembled. Could use some dust removal. A little about Miramar - Miramar of California manufactured a tremendous number of ceramic products in East Los Angeles. Beginning production in 1950, they cranked out an amazing variety of decorative and utilitarian products for roughly the next seventeen years. A conversion to "Melmac" production was begun in the mid-1960s and ceramics were phased out later that decade.Miramar of California was owned by Robert Weber who purchased the property and built the facilities in 1949. The first products (in 1950) were Asian-themed figural planters and TV lamps. Photos taken with and without camera flash for best description.
