Space Age table lamp base, probably dating from the 1970s and most likely of Italian production.
The spherical body is made of white glazed ceramic and decorated with circular chrome-finished elements.
No maker’s mark has been identified. The Italian origin therefore remains probable but unconfirmed.
The lamp base is sold without a lampshade.
