Place of origin: France
This pair of early 20th century hand-painted and glazed ceramic sculptures/perfume lamps depicts the iconic figure of Pierrot kneeling while holding a gilded incense burner, with two openings at the back for wiring. Pierrot originated as a stock character in 16th-century italian commedia dell'arte and was later adapted by french mime Jean-Gaspard Deburau into the clown made universally recognizable. Markings made by the manufacturer can be found underneath the figures. The lamps were designed by Aladin and produced by french company Robj, which created ceramic figurines and objects in the Art Déco style between 1908-1930s, often representing stylized caricatures of musicians, sailors, and folk costumes.
While relatively small in scale, the meticulous hand-painting and Art Déco stylization reflect the continued popularity of Commedia dell'arte's most famous characters in early 20th century decorative arts.
As can be seen in the photos, one of the lamps has a slight stain on what would be one of its legs, at the base of the lamp, due to wear and tear over time.

- "Exchange of Cultures, " High Style Art Deco Porcelain Lamp Base w/ Nudes by RobjBy ROBJLocated in Philadelphia, PAIllustrated in "Ceramiche Robj" and considered a major design by the renowned sculptor and ceramicist, this large piece was probably made in early 1930s to coincide with the debut of the Exposition Coloniale Internationale in Paris, which attracted almost 9 million visitors in less than a year. Rare and striking, this porcelain table lamp base depicts the globe surmounted by a tightly composed cluster of nude and semi-nude female figures representing cultures around the world. The women depicted here, all glazed in a gorgeous snow-white glaze highlighted in gold, are clearly representing a range of nations in Asia and Africa, probably coinciding with the nations that were part of the French Colonial Empire in the 1930s, before they won their freedom. Much like the one surviving building from the Exposition, now the Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration, which features a massive bas relief mural...Category
