Lot 453: Two Ceramic and Porcelain Table Lamps of Varying Designs
This lot comprises two table lamps of differing form and decoration. The first is a large ovoid ceramic lamp featuring a cream-coloured ground decorated with a large-scale scrolling foliate and floral design in muted sage green. It is mounted on a dark-stained, turned wooden circular base and is fitted with a brass B22 bayonet cap lamp holder and a gold-coloured three-core flex ending in a standard UK three-pin plug. The second lamp is a porcelain table lamp of waisted baluster form. The white ground is decorated with a repeating pattern of small blue scales, featuring a central reserve with a hand-painted polychrome floral spray contained within a scrolled border. The upper rim is accented with a green foliate border and gilt detailing. This lamp is fitted with a brass B22 bayonet cap lamp holder and a gold-coloured flex with a white inline rocker switch. No maker’s marks are visible on either piece.
