18th Century Delft Vase Converted to a Table Lamp

18th century
Description

A good example of a 18th Century Delft vase which has been converted to a table lamp. The vase has an octagonal foot and short neck and is beautifully decorated with traditional blue and white Dutch scenes. It is a good quality piece and has been mounted to a wooden base.

It has been rewired to modern standards to take a standard bayonet bulb and is in working order with a valid PAT test certificate.

The vase has suffered some damages over its life and there are some hairline cracks and a lovely stapled repair to the neck but it still displays beautifully.

Approximate Dimensions

Height : 16” (41 cm)

Width : 8” (20 cm)

Base Diameter : 6 3/4” (17 cm)

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Old iron staple repair at the neck: early mending before modern adhesives.
Glaze flaking at the foot rim: typical wear on soft tin-glazed earthenware.
Moulded rococo scroll cartouche with hand painting: Dutch styling of the period.
Irregular surface across the faceted sides: hand-formed rather than mechanically cast.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

An 18th-century Dutch Delft earthenware vase converted into a table lamp stands on a turned dark wooden plinth. The piece displays a flared octagonal body and short neck finished with a glossy white tin-glaze and hand-painted cobalt blue decoration showing a pastoral landscape with a figure and cattle beneath scrolling floral framing. Visible condition details include hairline cracks, a metal staple repair to the neck, and brass electrical hardware at the top fitted for a standard bayonet bulb. The lamp measures 41 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 17 cm deep. Positioned on a sideboard top, this lamp suits an English Country House interior scheme, providing ambient lighting in a living room, hallway, or study. The neutral blue and white palette pairs easily with traditional wooden furniture and patterned soft furnishings.

FAQs

Delftware is tin-glazed earthenware produced predominantly around Delft in the Netherlands from the 16th century onwards. Characterised by cobalt blue hand-painted decoration on an opaque white glaze, it was originally created to emulate imported Chinese porcelain.

An antique Delftware lamp comprises an earthenware ceramic body coated with a tin glaze and decorated with cobalt oxide pigments. Converted lamps typically incorporate a turned timber plinth, brass bulb fittings, and internal electrical cabling.

Authentic 18th-century Delftware exhibits a soft reddish or buff earthenware body visible at unglazed areas or small chips. Hand-painted decoration displays subtle variations in brushwork and cobalt shade, often accompanied by historical factory marks on the base.

A blue and white ceramic lamp serves as a focal point when placed on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or bedside cabinet. Pairing the lamp with a neutral silk or linen shade balances the detailed hand-painted ceramic pattern.

Clean the ceramic surface using a dry or slightly dampened microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals that might degrade glaze craquelure. Ensure electrical fittings are checked by a qualified electrician and kept clear of moisture.
