design & detail
• crafted in fine white porcelain by royal copenhagen, this lamp features a striking cobalt-blue thistle motif around the cylindrical base.
• the design is elegantly minimalist yet richly decorative, reflecting the mid-century scandinavian aesthetic with a twist.
• the subtle incorporation of a naturalistic thistle motif brings a slightly wild, eastern-bloc-inspired botanical tension to an otherwise sleek design.
• lamp model marked “e 7140” (as shown) – consistent with known examples of kai lange’s collaboration for fog & mørup.
• original pleated fabric shade (in very good condition) enhances authenticity and value.
• height: 46 cm; shade diameter: approximately 30 cm.
• overall condition: great. The porcelain is clean, no chips or cracks visible. The shade shows minor signs of age-induced fabric shift. Wiring should be reviewed for modern safety compliance (as standard for vintage electrical pieces).

platform-specific benefits for collectors
• a rare opportunity: examples of this lamp with the original shade and fully branded base are seldom offered on the open market.
• provenance: the dual branding (royal copenhagen + fog & mørup) strengthens the piece’s importance in the canon of danish decorative lighting.
• design narrative: for the curatorial buyer seeking depth, the story of this lamp spans porcelain manufacture, lighting innovation, mid-century style, and cross-discipline collaboration. This piece has an attribution mark,
