Vintage Mid-Century Glazed Ceramic Table Lamp with Floral Hand-Painted Detail

This mid-century modern style table lamp features a slender, elongated ceramic body with a bulbous center tapering down to a flared base. The ceramic surface is finished in a warm, glossy ochre or butterscotch brown glaze, decorated with a stylized hand-painted floral motif, possibly representing a poppy or tulip, in darker sepia tones. The lamp body is mounted on a heavy, scalloped cast metal foot finished in a faux-antiqued brass/gold tone, which matches the flared decorative metal cap at the neck. The lamp is topped with a neutral cream-colored fabric bell-style pleated lampshade. In terms of condition, the piece appears to be in well-maintained vintage state; there is visible light dust on the shade and minor surface wear typical for a piece from the mid-to-late 20th century. The craftsmanship reflects typical mass-market decorative lighting from the 1960s or 1970s, attempting to blend classical elegance with updated mid-century proportions. No maker's mark is visible in this view, though it likely would be located on the base underside or the socket.
