A beautiful example of American studio craftsmanship, this vintage Jane and Gordon Martz ceramic tile side table seamlessly blends sculptural woodworking with handcrafted ceramic artistry. Designed during the golden age of Mid-Century Modern design, this petite accent table embodies the timeless aesthetic that made Gordon and Jane Martz among the most celebrated designer-makers of the 20th century.
Crafted from richly grained walnut, the table features the Martz’s signature softly rounded edges, elegantly tapered cylindrical legs, and a practical lower shelf that adds both stability and functional storage. The true focal point is the hand-set ceramic tile top, showcasing the distinctive glazed patterns that have become synonymous with Martz designs. Each tile displays subtle variations in earthy browns, warm creams, soft grays, and ivory tones, creating a one-of-a-kind composition that celebrates the beauty of handmade ceramics. No two Martz tile tables are ever exactly alike, making each piece uniquely collectible.
Perfectly scaled as an end table, drink table, bedside table, or sculptural accent piece, this versatile design fits effortlessly into Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian, Organic Modern, Japandi, and contemporary interiors. Its compact footprint makes it especially well-suited for apartments, reading nooks, or beside a lounge chair, while the handcrafted tile surface offers both beauty and durability for everyday use.
The walnut has been cleaned and retains some age appropriate wear but is in excellent condition. The ceramic tile top remains in excellent vintage condition, displaying the handcrafted variations in glaze and texture that collectors seek in authentic Jane and Gordon Martz furniture.
Whether paired with George Nakashima, Edward Wormley, Finn Juhl, Hans Wegner, or Charles and Ray Eames furnishings, this exceptional table serves as both a functional piece of furniture and a work of ceramic art.
