This pair of late 19th Century Japanese table lamps consists of porcelain vases mounted with brass fittings and topped with pleated fabric shades. The porcelain features a vibrant blue and white glaze, depicting exotic flowers, birds, and classical oriental motifs to the borders, complemented by cream pleated fabric shades and moulded white handles on the flared necks. The round bases support baluster bodies standing on circular rims. Measuring 47 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 30 cm deep, these lamps provide balanced illumination for a living room sideboard top or a hallway console. Their English Country House style suits traditional interiors, where they can sit on a side table to bring ambient light and a decorative display to a corner of the room.

FAQs

These lighting fixtures utilise 19th-century Japanese underglaze cobalt blue porcelain vases adapted into table lamps, a decorative practice popularised in Western interiors during the late 19th and 20th centuries.

The body consists of hard-paste porcelain decorated with underglaze cobalt blue pigment, mounted with brass electrical components and fitted with fabric or pleated silk shades.

Period pieces feature hand-painted brushwork displaying subtle variations in cobalt intensity, clear underglaze finishes, and base adaptions or mountings suited for conversion to lighting.

Positioning a pair symmetrically on a console table or sideboard provides balanced scale, classical motif detailing, and visual contrast against modern neutral backdrops.

Clean the porcelain bases with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust, and lightly brush or vacuum the fabric pleated shades on low power to prevent fabric degradation.
