An antique Chinese cloisonné enamel vase converted into a table lamp. The central base is crafted using a traditional cloisonné metalwork technique where thin wires form compartments filled with colorful vitreous enamel paste.
The body of the lamp features a traditional globular bottle or baluster form mounted onto a carved dark wooden openwork base. The body displays a vibrant turquoise-blue ground decorated with multicolored scrollwork, blooming lotus or peony blossoms, and tiered decorative ruyi/leaf borders along the neck.
The lamp body is likely from circa 1920. It has been rewired recently.
