Vintage Late 50's Jane and Gordon Martz Ceramic Lamp Model 51











Vintage Late 50's Jane and Gordon Martz Ceramic Lamp Model 51
A classic mid-century ceramic table lamp designed by Jane and Gordon Martz for Marshall Studios. The hand-thrown ceramic body features a rich, deep Plum color glaze and the simple, organic form that epitomizes the Martz aesthetic. While the lampshade and harp are recent replacements, the ceramic base itself is an original vintage piece from the 1960s. From the 1955 “Catalog 6” Stoneware Sales Catalog, this lamp shape is noted as model “M51”. The glaze glossy, and a textured brown with a hint of lavender. It had been proposed that this was possibly a custom made glaze.
This lamp exemplifies the timeless elegance of American modern design, pairing natural materials and understated craftsmanship for a warm, versatile look that suits both vintage and contemporary interiors.
