Mid-Century Blanc de Chine Porcelaine Lamp with Matching Figurines

This set consists of a central table lamp featuring a figural base and two accompanying independent figurines, all rendered in a 'Blanc de Chine' style. The figures represent Guanyin or similar female immortals from Chinese mythology, dressed in flowing robes and standing on wave-like ornate pedestals. The central lamp figure is mounted on a dark, possibly wooden or composite circular base and features a brass or gold-toned metal harp and neck. The lamp is topped with a cream-colored, six-paneled fabric bell shade with a scalloped bottom edge and decorative braided trim. The pieces are crafted from a white, creamy porcelain with a high-gloss glaze typical of Dehua-style wares. In terms of condition, the porcelain appears intact without obvious chips or cracks visible, though the lampshade shows signs of age with light staining or foxing on the fabric. The metal components show some minor tarnish appropriate for a mid-20th-century piece (circa 1950s-1970s). The carving exhibits standard commercial quality for the period, with decent detail in the facial features and drapery of the robes, though likely mass-produced for the Western decorative market. No maker's marks are clearly visible in the image, but such pieces were often imported from Hong Kong or Japan during the Victorian revival or Hollywood Regency eras.
