Ceramic Owl Form Novelty Table Lamp with Inset Green Glass Cabochons
Description
A vintage ceramic novelty table lamp modeled in the form of an owl. The body and head feature a heavily textured off-white finish resembling snow or feathers. The owl is designed with two large yellow-glazed circular eyes centered with green glass or plastic pupils. Seven green crackle-glass cabochons are inset into the breast. The ceramic body is perforated with numerous small circular vent holes throughout the head and front, as well as a larger section of openwork on the back modeled as feathers. The lamp is mounted on a molded ceramic base finished to match the body, resembling a snowy mound. The underside is covered with a purple felt pad. It is fitted with a white power cord and a standard two-pin US plug. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the exterior or the underside of the base.
Height: 7.5 inches
Width: 5.5 inches.
