Nice looking 60's Ceramic Lamp  

Its vaguely better than...
Its vaguely better than yesterday's table lamp.....but $24, really?

Some of you are some serious...
Some of you are some serious snobs! If it doesn't have some Euro Designer name on it it's trash to you. Any number of sites sell this same style drip glaze lamp for $100+, so I think $24 is just fine.

I was going to go on a long...
I was going to go on a long diatribe about how beauty/value isn't necessarily determined by label/designer. Instead, I'm going to be straightforward. I think the lamp is ugly. Just my opinion. If that makes me a snob, so be it.

You can be discerning without needing labels and names, I wish there was more of it but most of the regulars here have pretty high standards and thats why so many have been here for quite a few years, its not a passing interest but something we take very seriously.
The lamp, do you think its something you'll care for in 10 years time? If you like it goodo but I find the faux gold a bit nasty looking. If you have the skills to make your own shades there are much better bases about, I think pale fabric shades like that looks especially good with wood bases.
PS Any number of sites sell tonnes of crap for a heap of money

Where do you keep
Where do you keep all of this stuff? Maybe it is time for an intervention.

The base isn't faux gold, it'...
The base isn't faux gold, it's actually solid brass, of which isn't high on my list of favorite metals. I do think a wood base would do it some good. The shade on it right now is just a basic barrel shade I put on it so it could be used for the time being.
As far as keeping and caring for it in 10 years time? Maybe, maybe not. Lamps aren't really my thing, but I feel I'm better off with a lamp of this quality than going to IKEA and buying one of their plastic/metal put it together yourself jobs or going to a furniture store and paying out a couple hondo for one their marked up made in china pieces of junk.
I do realize a lot of sites sell stuff for way above what they are worth, but I'm not paying those prices. If I pay 1/4 of what someone else will pay for it somewhere else I think I've done alright, even if someone else thinks it's ugly. Which, if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all!
Where do I keep all this stuff you ask? My wife and I live in a 4 bedroom 2200 sq. ft. house. As I buy stuff I get rid of some and keep some. I sell our old furniture, which in turn is replaced by the stuff I buy.
I'd hate to hear what some of you would think of the stuff we had.

With all due respect...
You said,
"Which, if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all!" (flyingpatricio)
Ok, I can live with that. Now...

There - JESGORD said it.
I just agree.

raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...
Don't take offense Flyingpat, its just a reaction to what the eye sees, folk here are visually senistive, just the way things are. If DAers could see my bathroom and book shelves there would be howls of disgust and protest but its not a big deal. Enjoy the cut and thrust and if you like it why care?
I would be inteersted though in your observations as to why you think its good? Anything about the glaze or proportions or function that got you excited?

.
I have to agree. But 'flyingpatrico' is a nice catchy name when you
open your own thrift store.
Your enthusiasm is quite fascinating. Swell in fact. But posting every
thrift store 5 dollar find is a bit odd on a DesignAddict site.

The thing is, this lamp, when...
The thing is, this lamp, when it was made, was the equivalent of today's "marked-up-made-in-China piece of junk". Lamps like this were mass produced and sold in Montgomery Wards, J. C. Penney's, and all kinds of chain furniture and department stores as well as mom 'n' pop joints. They were churned out by designers who didn't have enough talent to warrant getting their names on their designs. Nothing wrong with that. The masses needed table lamps and this is the kind of thing that filled that need---same as what IKEA and Target and other stores do today.
If you like it, great. If you come here and expect others to like it too, well---it's just not gonna happen.

I did not like it either...
I did not like it either until you said the base was SOLID brass!

.
I am afraid I would take a hammer to that one too. And lets face it FP the only reason you post everything you purchase is in the hope someone will identify it as "euro design" Its fugly but thats just everyones ele's opinion, you like it keep it.

Too kitchy.
Me no likey. It's not about a label, my eyes just don't like.
