This is a vintage table lamp crafted from a hand-painted Japanese ceramic figurine mounted on a turned wooden base.
Key Details & Identification
Subject & Imagery: The figure depicts an elder or grandfatherly figure in traditional Japanese dress joyfully holding a young child. In East Asian art traditions, images of elders holding children symbolically represent long life, good fortune, and family prosperity.
Attire Details:
Headwear: A black traditional cap (eboshi).
Clothing: A dark blue patterned upper robe with family crest-style circular motifs (mon), worn over green geometric-patterned hakama (divided trousers).
Footwear: Traditional zori or waraji straw sandals showing bare toes.
Child: Attired in a vibrant red floral kimono.
Material & Style: Made of glazed porcelain or ceramic decorated with overglaze enamels. The style, color palette, and intricate patterns are characteristic of 20th-century Japanese export porcelain (such as Kutani-style figures).
Lamp Construction: The figurine is mounted onto a dark-stained oval wooden base with a central brass threaded rod extending behind the statue up to a standard light socket, harp, and shade.
