This Chinese table lamp comprises a porcelain ginger jar mounted with a brass socket and set upon a carved dark wood stand. Dating from 1900, the piece exhibits a green enamel ground decorated with polychrome floral scrolls and pink peonies, enclosing four central medallions containing calligraphy against yellow and blue backgrounds. The ceramic body features a rich reddish-brown lower section with vertical linear detailing, topped with a plain brass collar supporting the electrical hardware. The lamp measures 37 cm high, 20 cm wide and 20 cm deep, with the ceramic portion standing 29 cm high excluding the top fitment. Positioned on a sideboard top, this table lamp brings a touch of traditional Chinoiserie style into an English Country House interior. The decorative polychrome palette incorporates vibrant tones of green, pink, yellow, blue and deep red, contrasted by the dark carved wooden base and metallic elements. The electrical wiring is modern and tested for safety. The lamp provides both ambient illumination and a striking ornamental focal point in a living room, hallway or study.

FAQs

A Famille Verte ginger jar lamp is a table lamp constructed from a Chinese porcelain storage jar decorated predominantly in green overglaze enamels, a style developed during the Qing dynasty.

These lighting pieces are made using high-fired porcelain, hand-applied polychrome enamels, brass electrical mountings, and carved hardwood display stands.

Authentic Famille Verte ceramics feature translucent copper-green enamels alongside iron-red and yellow highlights, often showing minor surface irregularities and age-appropriate wear to the glaze and wooden base.

Position the lamp on a console table, sideboard, or side table alongside contemporary textured textiles or dark polished wood to create a balanced contrast between antique detail and modern clean lines.

Dust the porcelain surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaning chemicals that could damage overglaze enamels; ensure electrical cabling is periodically inspected by a qualified electrician.
