ANTIQUE #SA1143962

Large Ernst Bohne Porcelain Owl Lamp Base

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Prometheus Antiques

A superb quality and large size owl lamp base by Ernst Bohne Soehne. The porcelain owl is wonderfully modelled in great detail with applied glass eyes, standing on naturalistic base with acorns. The porcelain is delicately hand painted with the plumage left as the bright white ceramic. The piece has the impressed mark of EBS for the highly regarded porcelain factory in Germany of Ernst Bohne Soehne, this impressed mark was used around 1880. The very large size of owl and the high-quality manufacture are unusual for these lamp bases. The piece retains the lamp fitting but it has been altered for electricity and would need rewiring to be used as a lamp. The porcelain is in excellent condition only a small hairline on the underside of the base. The owl is a hugely decorative, high-quality piece, an excellent example of late nineteenth century porcelain.
