Fohang Porcelain Vase Lamp with Birds, China, Late 19th Century
This elegant salon lamp features a baluster-shaped vase in Famille Rose porcelain, a refined Chinese production dating from the late 19th century.
The vase’s body displays a rich naturalistic decoration in polychrome enamels, depicting birds of paradise (Fohang) among blooming peonies and flowering branches, traditional symbols of prosperity and beauty. The flared neck, adorned with small stylized handles in relief, is highlighted by geometric friezes in turquoise and pink tones that harmoniously frame the central scene.
The lamp is mounted on a carved, blackened wood base and topped with an olive-colored pleated lampshade, trimmed with olive-colored Declerq braid.
