An Antique Chinese Porcelain Baluster Vase Table Lamp with Shade

This exquisite antique Chinese porcelain lamp, mounted on a carved wooden base, is a stunning example of decorative art from the late Qing Dynasty, likely dating to the mid-to-late 19th century. The vase-form body is hand-painted with intricate scenes, depicting warriors or horsemen in a traditional narrative. The vibrant color palette, featuring dominant greens, reds, and other polychrome enamels, suggests it belongs to the "Famille Verte" family, styles of porcelain that were highly popular during this period. The meticulous detail in the figures' robes, the landscape elements, and the decorative bands at the base and neck of the vase all point to the high level of craftsmanship of the period. While originally a vase, it was later converted into a lamp, a common practice that allowed these beautiful pieces to be adapted for Western interiors, blending Chinese artistry with a new, functional purpose. Imported from England. Including shade and antique jade finial. New lampshade.
