The base is formed as a classical urn overflowing with dimensional fruit including grapes, pears, apples, and citrus, all rendered in glossy white porcelain.

Pieces like this were produced in Italy during the mid-20th century and exported to the United States, where they became a staple of Hollywood Regency and Palm Beach interiors. The richly modeled fruit forms create strong texture and shadow while the monochrome blanc-de-chine glaze keeps the piece visually refined.

The lamp retains its original mid-century hardware including a brass Leviton socket and non-polarized plug. The base is finished with a pale blue accent collar and pedestal foot, adding a beautiful contrast to the porcelain.

This type of lamp is often styled with a simple ivory linen drum shade so the sculptural ceramic base remains the focal point. Sold without a shade so the next owner can choose the ideal proportion and fabric for their space.

A striking accent lamp for a console, bedside table, or living room vignette.

Harp and finial includes.
Length 24.75” measuring from the bottom of the base to the top of the socket. See less
