These RARE reticulated lamps are quite different than most Blanc de Chine lamps on the market. They are very tall, hexagonal in shape and each lamp contains 12 reticulated panels, six on the top six on the bottom. Each panel is meticulously HAND CARVED and NOT commercially perforated. This hand carving process, along with the intentional pitted glazing towards the bottom, and the "live edge" all indicate that these large vases were made in the Early 20th Century turned into lamps at a later date.

In studio pottery and luxury ceramic design, a "live edge" on a porcelain vessel means the rim of the vase has been left intentionally uneven, fluid, or asymmetrical for aesthetic purposes. Each lamp has thin rice paper surrounding its interior perimeter giving off a warm glow from the interior bulbs. Keep in mind, one light is slightly brighter than the other.

EXCELLENT VINTAGE CONDITION. New brass harps and new brass finials. The sockets and electrical cords were updated at a later date and are in good working condition.
