Pottery Lamp and Shade by Martin Pettinger for Somerset Pottery, (1960s) UK

Martin Pettinger was a British ceramic designer associated with Somerset Pottery during the mid-twentieth century. His work reflects the influence of the post-war British studio pottery movement, which emphasised expressive glazing, tactile forms and an appreciation for natural materials. Rather than highly polished industrial finishes, designers working in this tradition embraced irregular textured and flowing glazes that highlighted the hand-crafted qualities of ceramics. Pettinger's designs for Somerset Pottery combined these studio influences with practical domestic objects, creating pieces that feel both sculptural and approachable. His lamps and ceramic vessels remain appreciated today for their characterful forms and rich layered glazes.
