Offered with a new custom drum shade in fine green-and-white pinstripe fabric with solid green trim, fitted with a us plug or international plug of your choice; height as listed includes the lampshade.

the earthenware base carries a hallmark chinoiserie composition: a long-tailed exotic bird perched among large peony blooms and trailing foliage, all rendered in rich cobalt blue against a luminous white ground. The baluster form is one of the most enduring shapes in the royal delft repertoire fitted here with a brass collar that transitions to a bespoke drum shade in fine green-and-white pinstripe fabric, finished with a solid green trim at the rim. The pairing of deep cobalt blue and fresh apple green gives the lamp a crisp, spirited presence that suits both traditional interiors and more adventurous, pattern-forward rooms.

the underside carries the printed blue semicircular de porceleyne fles factory label alongside the hand-painted jt, jar mark, and "delft" in script — the dating system used by the factory since 1879. To the left of the mark are the painter's initials ; to the right, the year code cx, confirming production in 1979. Newly wired with a fabric wrapped twisted navy cord.
