Bay Keramik Vase Lamp "Bodo Mans" - Cordless Accent Lamp made of West German Pottery
This handcrafted vase lamp combines the distinctive ceramic art of Bodo Mans for Bay Keramik with a modern, handcrafted lampshade. The combination of the sculptural relief ceramics from the 1970s and a finely patterned botanical fabric makes this lamp a special eye-catcher – timeless, homely, and yet full of character.
The original Bay Keramik vase belongs to one of the most famous series by Bodo Mans, whose designs are now among the icons of West German Pottery. The detailed medallion relief, the two small handles, and the intense Fat Lava glaze in turquoise, blue, and green tones give the vase its extraordinary depth and vibrancy.
The narrow oval lampshade was handcrafted in our Berlin workshop and covered with a high-quality, translucent cotton fabric. This is a Westfalen fabric from the Signapur series - a classic from the manufacturer. The delicate leaf motif in petrol/turquoise and cream emphasizes the colors of the ceramic without competing with it. When switched on, a pleasantly soft light is created, allowing the fabric to glow subtly from within.

Gentle Conversion to a Lamp
The original vintage vase was converted into a lamp without drilling and with a reversible plug-in solution. This preserves the collector's value of the ceramic. The lamp base was additionally weighted to ensure a secure stand.
Cordless Lighting
The lamp comes with a rechargeable LED bulb, which is charged via USB-C. Depending on the chosen brightness, the illumination duration is approximately 6 to 12 hours. With the included remote control, brightness and light color can be easily adjusted. This allows the lamp to be used flexibly on sideboards, windowsills, shelves, or dining tables – as well as on balconies or terraces, completely without a disturbing cable.
