Capodimonte-Style Pierced Porcelain Reticulated Table Lamp

This is a highly decorative table lamp featuring a large ceramic base in the ornate Capodimonte style, characterized by its complex reticulated (pierced) porcelain work. The body of the lamp displays a bulbous central section, a narrow neck, and a flaring foot, all featuring intricate cut-out patterns and hand-applied floral relief elements. The color palette consists of soft pastels including pink, green, and yellow, accented with extensive gold gilding on the ribs and edges. The lamp sits upon a tiered metal and marble base with scrolled brass-tone feet, typical of mid-20th-century Hollywood Regency or Neo-Classical revival lighting. The piece includes a large, simple cream-colored linen or paper parchment conical lampshade that provides a modern contrast to the elaborate base. Notable features include the delicate floral encrustations and the complex lattice-work that allows glimpses into the hollow center of the vessel. The condition appears fair to good for its age, though items of this type often suffer from small chips to the delicate flower petals or minor wear to the gilding. Based on the styling and materials, this piece likely dates from the 1950s to the 1970s and exemplifies high-end decorative domestic lighting from that era.
