The base bears the Keramos KWK triangle mark along with model numbers 106 / 20056 / 1, and is artist-signed.

The sculptural base depicts a graceful young woman captured in a gentle curtsy beside a slender white garden post adorned with delicate applied flowers. She wears an elegant tiered crinoline dress in soft yellow, trimmed with green edging and scattered floral accents. The skirt lifts slightly to reveal white stockings and charming pink shoes. Her bodice is closely fitted with softly puffed sleeves, while a blue ribbon secures the gray bonnet that frames her lovely face and blonde hair.

The finely modeled porcelain and hand-painted details reflect the refined craftsmanship for which Keramos was known during the early 20th century. Both decorative and functional, this figural lamp is a charming example of European porcelain artistry and would make a distinctive addition to an antique lighting or porcelain collection. See less
