designed by the famous Bauhaus designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld for Peill & Putzler in the 1950s
I bought this lamp in the middle of nowhere only because I liked it
luckily somebody I connected with on Instagram immediately recognized it, a museum quality piece
the design is apparently created with a process called "overshot glass" where small chips of glass are applied in a pattern while the base ids still hot
The technique is sometimes called overshot glass or glue chip glass.
Not something I associate with P&P but I only know a little about their vases, not their lights.
You clearly have a great eye.
racer4 is correct ;-)
I used the wrong term
another lucky thing was this is the XL version of this lamp design
there was a smaller version and one recently sold for +/- EUR 2000

funny that some Wagenfeld expert contacted me to tell me this was not actually his design
it seems Atelier Peill & Putzler modified the Bonn Pendant size and then add embellishments and named it the Madeira pendant lamp
I had a contact on Instagram assure me it was a Bonn pendant lamp and somebody sold the same lamp on Pamono with same details
