Are these lamps converted from old vases?

Many examples begin life as 19th century or early 20th century porcelain vases, ginger jars, or cloisonne vessels that are later adapted for electrical components. This conversion process allows decorative arts from the Qing Dynasty and Victorian periods to function as modern table lighting while retaining their original hand-painted surfaces.

Cloisonne involves soldering thin metal wires onto a brass or copper base to create small cells, which are filled with coloured enamel pastes before firing. When utilised for lamp bases, this technique produces a tactile, patterned surface defined by intricate floral and geometric motifs.
