Japanese Imari Style Porcelain Table Lamp

This is a single rounded table lamp, crafted from porcelain in the distinctive Japanese Imari style. The lamp base is supported by a dark, possibly wooden, circular plinth. The body of the lamp is primarily white porcelain, serving as a canvas for a vibrant and intricate polychrome decoration. The design features a swirling, ribbon-like motif composed of various geometric and floral patterns in a rich palette of cobalt blue, iron red (or rust), teal green, gold, and understated browns. Some sections exhibit a 'mon' (crest) like design in dark blue, while others showcase more delicate floral or geometric tessellations. The painting appears to be hand-applied with fine brushwork, indicative of quality craftsmanship. The top of the porcelain body is fitted with a metallic finial, likely brass or bronze, which serves as the lamp's electrical fitting. The overall shape is globular or urn-like, typical for decorative table lamps. No significant damage or wear is immediately visible, though a closer inspection would reveal any crazing, chips, or rub marks on the gilded areas. The base appears solid and stable. The style suggests it could be a 20th-century piece, possibly mid to late 20th century, drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese Imari wares that gained popularity in the West. The combination of intricate patterns and the vivid color scheme are hallmarks of this decorative tradition, making it a visually striking and aesthetically pleasing object. The presence of gold accents further suggests a certain level of luxury and attention to detail. The lamp appears to be in good, well-maintained condition.
