This is a beautiful table lamp that has been used as a delicate night light for years. I believe it was originally just a vase and converted into an electrified lamp. It is a porcelain two part lamp - the top part with handles can be swiveled around the base pedestal. The pedestal bottom appears to be brass filigree style with velvet on the bottom. The vase pedestal is attached to this bottom securely. The piece is decorated with extensive thick gilding on the circumference of the pedestal three levels and on the main boday side handles and around the top textured rim. There is a transfer print on the front of the piece (the back is undecorated) that features an Asian theme of birds and flowers. This is probably made in England but I cannot verify that. There are no markings.

Condition is Good. There is an underglaze crack towards the top lip on the front of the piece. Not noticeable unless you turn the piece upwards. There is a small manufacturing flaw underglaze on the back part (an extra speck of ceramic). Some of the gold paint is worn on the handles and on some of the grooves around the top rim. The transferware is in good condition with little to no loss. This piece is in working condition.
