A Very Arizona Ceramic Lamp Base. This is an unusual lamp base that I call "Very Arizona". The glazes capture the beautiful oranges, purples and turquoise colors of the desert. It's fun and whimsical. A bucking horse on the head board, two jack rabbit foot soldiers on each side sitting behind some cactus. In the forground is more cactus and a secret door that leads to … what ever you would like to hide in there. Regardless of what you hide in there, there is a gecko hiding in there too. It's a sculpture that has detail and intrigue. All made from high fire clay. The door is hinged with a wire so it does open and close imperfectly. But that's part of the charm too. It comes with the electrical guts already to plug in and turn on. The black lamp shade is lined with gold foil. The whole lamp measures 18" h x 8" w x 3" d. Made by Robin Chlad in Tucson, Arizona.

I am a ceramic artist. I sculpt, hand build, throw on the wheel, and design hand made tile. Some of my work is functional, some is for art's sake. All of it is my passion and a gift from God.
I have 30 years of experience in clay alone. I consider myself a person that can do anything (in clay). I have many years experience in custom work, working together and creating one on one designs for clients. My designs are fun and whimsical and I enjoy making people smile. I am all about original. My inspirations come from gardens, nature, southwest desert, and other peoples art or creations.
In all my years in business, I have never had anyone complain, or need me to come back to fix something, or return a custom piece. I have letters of referrals and note cards of overjoyed thanks.
