Other versions: For the moment it is unknown if this 1960s pussycat ceramics table lamp exists in several versions.
The electrical components are also from that period. The switch is Scandinavian, the socket is a B22 bayonet mount, at that time used in France, the United States, the United Kingdom and in many countries that were members of the Commonwealth of Nations.
Probably this lamp is from the United Kingdom. These chop marks or potter’s marks (logo stamp) are typical for British pottery.
And in all probability this lamp is studio pottery. All stages of manufacture are carried out by the artists themselves to create unique items or short runs.
