Bidspirit auction | Large Chinese Carved Celadon Porcelain

Large Chinese Carved Celadon Porcelain Vase Table Lamp - This large-scale decorative table lamp is centered on a baluster-form porcelain vase featuring a pale green celadon glaze. The body of the vase is decorated with underglaze incised (carved) floral and foliate motifs and is flanked by twin scroll-style handles at the neck. It is mounted on a carved dark-stained wooden base with four scrolled feet. The lamp is fitted with a cream-colored fabric bell-form shade with vertical piping and is topped with a decorative pierced brass finial in a stylized lotus bud or flame motif. Measuring approximately 31 inches in total height with a 16-inch diameter shade, this piece functions as a substantial statement element. The celadon glaze and carving suggest a mid-to-late 20th-century production in the traditional Chinese style. No maker's marks are present. The estimate reflects the significant scale of the piece, offset by notable condition issues to the base and shade. Valuation basis: recent auction sales of large 20th-century Chinese celadon export lamps generally range from $150-$350; the current estimate is reduced by approximately 50% to account for the prominent chip to the wooden base, potential hairline crack, and surface staining on the shade. 16 x 16 x 31
