Large Bernard Rooke Table or Floor Lamp with Original Shade
By Bernard Rooke
Located in London, GB
A monumental and unusual lamp by British potter, Bernard Rooke. An early piece, probably dating from the 1960s, and initialled BR on the side.
Large-scale single-piece Rooke lamps are rare to see - kiln size often a limiting-factor - particularly with an original shade. The base is hand-built, with the lower section finished in a glaze of green/grey. The upper part is glazed showing natural terracotta tones and features raised patterns and piercing, finishing in pierced loops at the top.
Both the base and shade are in good original condition, with normal wear from age and use and the hand-making process. A firing crack to the interior flat section of the base appears stable, and is not visible in use.
Wiring:
The original wiring has been removed and will need to be replaced in the country of install to meet local needs. The lamp-holder takes a bayonet-fitting bulb and we recommend low-heat models to protect this piece for the future.
Shade:
The lamp has its original shade, which is rare, and this one is an unusual size for Rooke designs. Overall it has retained pretty good shape, with a little "ovalling", minor marks and occasional short crack to the liner. The fitting is a duplex...

Mandalay Period: 1853 - 1948
Mandalay Buddha figure
Mandalay was considered the center of Buddhism in Burma. King Mindon moved the capital from Amarapura to this new place and named it the city of Mandalay. This place was chosen because of a prediction said to have been made by Gautama Buddha, stating that a major city, a Buddhist metropolis, would be built on this spot, on the 2400th anniversary of Buddhism.
The political center of this new city has a perfect geometric shape of a Buddhist mandala, due to which the city was named Mandalay. The Mandalay period ended when the Burmese gained their independence from the British.

The Mandalay Buddha is generally considered to be the Burmese interpretation of Buddhism. The Buddha figures...
