Urn Lamp Appraisal

Classical Style White Ceramic/Porcelain Urn Table Lamp with Grape Motif

This is a classical style table lamp featuring a figural porcelain or ceramic body. The main body of the lamp is a light, possibly off-white or cream, color with a matte or bisque-like finish, suggesting a ceramic or porcelain material. It has an urn or amphora shape with applied, three-dimensional decorative elements, primarily grapevines with leaves and clusters of grapes. The detailing of the grapes and leaves is finely sculpted, indicating good craftsmanship. Two cut-out handles are present on the upper portion of the urn, adding to its classical aesthetic. The lamp sits on a multi-tiered base: a white circular support, followed by an ornate, possibly brass or gilded metal, band with scrollwork or acanthus leaf motifs, and finally, a dark brown or black wooden circular base. The socket for the light bulb is visible at the top, along with a portion of a fabric lampshade, likely beige or cream in color. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant damage visible from the provided image. The metal components show some signs of age, consistent with an older piece, but no significant corrosion. The style points towards a mid-20th century production, possibly a Hollywood Regency or classical revival piece. The intricate applied decorations are a key quality indicator, demonstrating a higher level of detail than mass-produced alternatives. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided views.
