A richly decorated Chinese porcelain table lamp in the classic Hu form — a vessel shape with origins in ancient Chinese ritual bronzes — mounted on a gilt brass footed base with its original pagoda-style cream shade and pierced brass Shou (longevity) finial.
The vase body is lavishly hand-painted in the famille rose palette across every surface. The shoulder features dense millefleurs (ten thousand flowers) decoration — an all-over ground of peonies, lotus blossoms, chrysanthemums, and foliage in the Cantonese export tradition. The belly carries figural reserve panels depicting Chinese immortals, scholars, and courtly figures amid pine trees, waterways, pavilion fencing, and cloud forms — a classic narrative composition.
A warm gilt ground glows beneath the floral shoulder treatment, and the foot is banded with a geometric border in the Famille Rose palette.
Details:
Total height: 27 inches (to top of finial)
Shade diameter: 20½ inches
Shade: Original warm beige pagoda-form fabric shade, gently worn
Brass footed base with Shou finial
Vase drilled for electrification
Mid-20th century, Canton/Chinese export tradition
An ideal accent for a traditional, chinoiserie, or Hollywood Regency interior. Rare to find with the original shade intact.
