About the Item

Antique Celadon Porcelain Table Lamp Graceful Antique Celadon Porcelain Table Lamp featuring a sleek ebony base. A timeless piece of decor that blends sophistication with historic craftsmanship. Celadon lamps are crafted from celadon porcelain, a material renowned for its jade-like green glaze. The term "celadon" originated in Europe, inspired by a character in a 17th-century French romance who wore pale green ribbons. Celadon porcelain has its roots in ancient China, particularly during the Tang dynasty (618–907). It gained popularity for its resemblance to jade, a highly valued material in Chinese culture. The Longquan kilns in Zhejiang province were especially famous for producing celadon wares during the Song dynasty (960–1279), and these pieces were often exported to other parts of Asia and Europe. Celadon lamps, like other celadon items, showcase the artistry of combining iron oxide glazes with high-temperature firing techniques. This process creates the signature green hues, ranging from bluish-green to olive tones. In Europe, celadon porcelain became a luxury item, often adorned with elaborate mounts to suit Rococo interiors.

Antique Chinese Crackle Glaze Lamp with Foo Dog Motifs
Located in Lincoln, GB
Antique Late 19th Century Chinese Crackle Glaze Table Lamp with Foo Dog Motifs and Ornate Bronze Mounts A captivating Antique Chinese Table Lamp, dating to the late 19th century, expertly combining traditional Chinese ceramic artistry with fine bronze craftsmanship. Originally created as an oil lamp, this piece has been sympathetically converted to electricity, preserving its authentic charm while making it suitable for modern-day use. The lamp features a distinctive crackle-glazed porcelain body in an elegant off-white tone, a decorative technique favoured in Chinese ceramics for centuries. The controlled crazing effect (crackle glaze) enhances the depth and character of the surface, creating a fine network of lines across the glaze, which was often valued both aesthetically and symbolically. The body is adorned with black-painted Chinese Foo Dog (guardian lion) motifs on opposing sides. These mythical creatures are powerful symbols of protection in Chinese culture, traditionally placed at the entrances of temples, palaces, and homes to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. Set on an intricately cast bronze base with raised feet, and finished with a scalloped bronze collar at the top, the piece exhibits a blend of elegance and strength. The bronze fittings are richly patinated, reflecting the age and authenticity of the lamp. Historical Background: Crackle glaze (Ge ware) has been a feature of Chinese ceramics since the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD), appreciated for its organic patterns that emerged during the cooling process of high-fired glazes. In the 18th and 19th centuries, crackle glaze ceramics...
