Pair of Prussian Blue Chinoiserie Vase Lamps

About the Item

A superbly decorative pair of Chinoiserie vase lamps in imitation blue lacquer of the 18th century style. Fitted with gold leaf water-gilt turned circular bases. Why we like them Blue lacquer had always been considered the rarest and most expensive variation, due to the high cost of the pigment, and hence associated with aristocracy and royalty. We love the superb decorative effect of the meticulous  hand-painting of the whimsical oriental scenes, very much in the tradition of the 18th century fashion for Chinese objects, a craze that epitomised in such creations as the Kinaslott, a small pavillion built for the Queen of Sweden at Drottningholm. Height to top of shade: 24 in / 61 cm Height excluding shade: 18 in / 46 cm Diameter: 7 in / 18 cm May be wired for any country. The shades are for display only and are not included, however, we are more than happy to recommend shade suppliers.

  • Pair of Chinese Celadon Longquan Vase Lamps
    Located in London, GB
    A pair of Chinese Longquan ware vases in light-green celadon glaze, of the 12th–14th century Song or Yuan dynasty style. Fitted as lamps on gilt turned circular bases. Vases China, early to mid-20th century. The vases have the traditional pear-shaped bodies raised on slightly spreading feet, the waisted and flaring necks applied with two C-shaped dragon handles suspending large fixed rings, covered overall with a bluish-green glaze thinning to white at the edges and around the moulded peony scroll decoration. Why we like them We love the exquisite, individually hand-moulded decoration and the gentle colour of the glaze, in perfect harmony with the the flowing shape of the vases. History and Design Made in porcelain with raised moulded decoration under celadon glaze, and traditionally referred to as the Longquan ware, the design of these vases dates back to the 10th–14th century. Longquan celadon refers to ceramics produced in large kilns in Longquan, Jincun and other sites in Zhejiang Province on the east China seaboard as well as ceramics made elsewhere using the same techniques. The making of Longquan celadon dates back to the Northern Song...
