A classic piece - a good sized hand painted late 19th century (or maybe early 20th century) European porcelain lamp base. Could be French or German. It has a cobalt blue body with gilded pattern, and a panel of handpainted flowers on either side. One side has a spray of roses, trumpet flowers etc on a white background. The other side has daisies, roses and tulips on a golden beige background. The base has a brass band and a border of brass grape leaves and grapes around a gold velvet-covered internal wooden block which holds the wiring cord. Top has a wooden mount for the light bulb fitting, which is screwed to the mount. Wired for 240v, could easily be rewired to other systems.
Measurements: Actual lamp base is 27 cm high, and 35 cm high total to the top of the bulb fitting (10.3/4 inches and 13.3/4 inches). It is about 14 cm diameter (5.1/2 inches).
The only fault is a star hairline to the right of the white panel. However, this is not readily visible because of the design, and the hairline goes nowhere, so the vase is in no danger.
Beautiful piece, just waiting for a sympathetic shade to show it off to its best advantage.
