Otero Regal Spanish Picasso-Style Vintage Ceramic Table Lamp

€1,790.00

Meet Vivero, perhaps our most unique table lamp to date, handcrafted from a vintage Alfonso Otero Regal ceramic vase created in Galicia, Spain. As one of the very first in our new Spanish lamps collection, Vivero reflects the bold artistic spirit of Spain, inspired by Amitābha Studio’s recent move.

The vase’s abstract, Picasso-esque face design captures the vibrancy of mid-20th-century modernism, reimagined through Alfonso Otero Regal’s celebrated craftsmanship, and it stands as a testament to his reputation for expressive, avant-garde ceramics. Executed in a palette of deep navy blue with earthy terracotta accents and subtle sgraffito detailing, set on a matte, unglazed background, the bold, angular lines create a dynamic portrait that feels at once playful and deeply sophisticated. Its graphic quality recalls Picasso’s Cubist experiments, while grounding the work in the artisanal traditions of Galicia.

We’ve paired the vase base with a new bespoke trapezoid lampshade in Japanese cotton with calligraphy-style script and gold-lined interior, enhancing the vase’s sculptural presence. The result is a conversation-starting collectible table lamp with crisp, modern graphic impact and the intimacy of the artist’s hand, blurring the boundary between functional art and sculpture.

Height: 54 cm (21 in) with lampshade
Width: 40 cm (16 in) front, 57cm (22 in) on diagonal with lampshade

Alfonso Otero Regal and Regal Cerámica

Regal Cerámica is a distinguished Galician ceramics workshop founded in the early 1980s. The workshop was formally inaugurated in 1982, though Alfonso Otero Regal had already been working as a ceramist in the 1970s. The production philosophy emphasizes artisanal process, regional materials such as local clays, and a distinctive decorative style blending influences from Mediterranean, ethnic, and 20th-century vanguard art traditions.

Their decoration techniques often combine brushwork in cobalt oxide and iron oxide, sometimes enhanced with esgrafiado (incised work), and occasionally a third firing for certain color details. The creative ethos draws inspiration from Picasso, Guayasamín, and other modern artists while asserting originality rather than replication.

In 2002, Otero Regal acquired an old leather-tanning factory in the Xunqueira neighborhood of Viveiro (Lugo) and converted it into the Regal-Xunqueira cultural complex (museum, workshop, gallery, retail, garden), preserving local industrial heritage while centering his work in a sculptural, immersive environment. In 2011, Regal Cerámica was awarded the National Craftsmanship Prize (Premio Nacional de Artesanía) in Spain.
