A striking vintage Chinese porcelain table lamp featuring a cylindrical vase-form base adorned with intricate famille rose enamel decoration on a vibrant imperial yellow ground. The raised enamel motifs include auspicious vases, scrolls, and floral elements in colorful detail. Mounted on a carved wood base with traditional Asian design elements and topped with a brass harp and socket. A beautiful blend of traditional artistry and functional design, perfect for eclectic or Chinoiserie interiors.
At some early moment in time, a break around the top was expertly repaired and is apparent upon close examination. (see photos of darker yellow line). Brass verdigris top and carved wood base.

"The "Hundred Antiques" (百 寶 , bǎi bǎo, or 百 器, bǎi qì) motif in Chinese art and design is a decorative pattern featuring a collection of auspicious objects and symbols, often including antiques, scholar's objects, and various other decorative items. This popular motif, especially prominent during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), symbolizes good wishes, good fortune, and prosperity."
