Vintage Ginger Jar Porcelain Table Lamp with Floral and Butterfly Motif

This is a decorative table lamp featuring a ceramic ginger-jar style base mounted on a footed metal pedestal. The vessel itself is made of cream or off-white glazed porcelain decorated with a botanical theme featuring gladiolus or iris flowers in pale pink and yellow tones, accompanied by green foliage and various butterflies in flight. The ceramic body has a bulbous shape that tapers to a flared neck, which is finished with a gold-tone gilded rim and a thin turquoise accent line. The base is constructed from a heavy cast metal, likely brass or bronze-finished metal, featuring four ornamental scroll-feet. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century decorative piece, possibly in the Hollywood Regency or Traditional style. It is topped with a cream-colored fabric pleated lampshade which shows some minor fraying or age-related wear along the bottom piping. The porcelain appears to be in good condition without visible cracks, though there is minor rubbing to the gilded accents on the rim. The overall aesthetic combines Asian-inspired shape with Western botanical illustration.
