Vintage Floral Ceramic Table Lamp Base

This item is a vintage ceramic table lamp base, characterized by its off-white or speckled cream background and a prominent floral motif. The lamp base has an octagonal or faceted cylindrical shape, tapering slightly towards the top where it transitions to a ribbed neck section before the brass-toned lamp hardware. The floral design features a cluster of warm-toned flowers, primarily sunflowers or similar daisy-like blooms in shades of yellow and orange, interspersed with brown and reddish-brown foliage. This pattern appears to wrap around the lower half to two-thirds of the lamp's body. The ceramic material has a subtly textured or speckled finish, common in designs from the 1970s and early 1980s. A brown electrical cord is visibly wrapped around the top section, leading to the brass-colored light socket components. Physical condition shows noticeable wear, particularly at the base where there is significant discoloration, dirt accumulation, and what appears to be a greenish-brown staining or residue, possibly from prolonged exposure to moisture or outdoor elements. The overall aesthetic is distinctly retro and aligns with decor trends of the mid to late 20th century. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image. The construction appears to be machine-made ceramic, likely mass-produced. The quality of the floral decoration suggests it may be a decal or transfer print rather than hand-painted, which was common for this style period. The brass-toned hardware shows some patina consistent with age.
