Antique Chinese Famille Rose Porcelain Table Lamp -Elephant Sleeve Vase Lamp.
An exceptional antique Chinese export Famille Rose porcelain statement lamp base, originally potted during the Qing Dynasty as a classic sleeve vase form. Dating from the late 19th century to the early 20th century (Late Qing to Republic Period), this hand-painted piece beautifully bridges classical Asian symbolism with upscale decorative utility.
