Space Age 1970s “Dice” Lampshade by Uffe Gustav Schiøler for Hoyrup Denmark/IKEA

A lampshade which has a pedigree surpassing its unprepossessing looks, this is the "Dice" Lampshade designed by Uffe Gustav Schiøler for Hoyrup of Denmark and then acquired and later sold by IKEA. A 19cm rounded cube of plastic with circular semi-opaque panels which protrude slightly. This one is in a suitably 1970s shade of orange and is the pendant shade variation - there were desk / table lamp versions as well.

There are some minor aspects of the condition which should be noted, principally that the top curved white panel with the ring for the bulb holder is not as even as it might be. It's secure but has deformed, and although it would most likely be out of sight in normal use, the potential buyer should be aware of it. Also to the top is a hairline crack to the orange plastic - it doesn't feel like it's a worry structurally and there's no sense of becoming worse. Again, it is not noticeable in ordinary use.

The "spider" ring (for fitting the bulb holder) is not original but is a good fit for the lamp. Otherwise, the lamp is in good shape with only minor superficial surface scratches as to be expected of an item of some age.

Please note, the sale is for the shade and spider ring only. No wiring or buibholder is supplied.

Heavy Vintage Rounded Square Glass Bowl with Smoked Mustard-Orange Gradient

Weighing in at almost 900g this rounded square bowl is a solidly sculpted piece of glass and certainly an eye-catching piece, possibly from Murano, but this cannot be confirmed with absolute certainty. With its very thick rounded rim in clear glass and its graduated colour which appears almost solid at the base, it interacts with light in very interesting ways. From some angles there's a mustard-like tone to the colour, from other angles it's more of a deep orange-brown, and then again, dark brown hues almost a black tone, takes precedent in the refracted colours. Measuring approximately 18cm (7 in.) square at the rim, and approximately 7.5 cm (3 in.) in height, it makes much more of a statement than its dimensions suggest.

The bowl is in generally good condition. There are some minor grazes and surface scratches throughout but no chips or cracks and there's nothing that immediately catches the eye in a detrimental way. A little stunner, albeit a chunky one!

Modernist Style Vintage Stainless Steel Rounded Square Dish

A striking small stainless steel dish with more than a hint of Danish modernist style to it, but made in Hong Kong by KH. The dish, which is stamped underneath with design no. s-873, has an overall rounded square form with a circular base and interior, with bevelling to the outside lip edges and subtlely smoothed interior. In very good overall condition with minor superficial scratches and signs of wear, but nothing which catches the eye or detracts from the otherwise striking form.

The dish measures approximately 12.5 cm square (5 in.) with a depth of 2cm (¾ in.). The circular rim has a diameter of 9.5cm (3¾ in.) and the base has a diameter of 5cm (2 in.)
