Description

This vintage table lamp features a bell-shaped glazed ceramic shade and a decorative cast metal base. The cream-colored shade is characterized by its pierced design, incorporating vertical linear and circular cut-outs intended to cast light patterns when the lamp is illuminated. The ceramic glaze displays fine all-over crazing throughout. The lamp is supported by a fluted cast metal pedestal on a hexagonal foot, finished in an aged polychrome palette of cream, red, and dark brown. The fixture has been rewired with a modern white plastic cord and a non-polarized black two-prong plug. It was confirmed to be in working condition at the time of cataloging.

Overall Height: 13.5 inches
Base Diameter: 4.5 inches
Shade Diameter: 6.5 inches.


Condition report:

The item is in good vintage condition. The ceramic shade shows all-over crazing to the glaze. The cast metal base exhibits significant surface wear and loss to the painted finish, resulting in a heavily distressed patina. The electrical components are modern replacements.
