Chinese Export Porcelain Ginger Jar Table Lamp — Famille Rose Figural Scenes

A decorative table lamp fashioned from a Chinese porcelain ginger jar, hand-painted in the Canton / Famille Rose style with figural court and domestic scenes. The bulbous jar features panels of attendants, scholars, and household figures rendered in traditional enamel colors of green, pink, yellow, and iron red against a crackle-glazed ground.

The porcelain is mounted on a black lacquer-style wooden stand with lamp hardware — a classic mid-20th-century chinoiserie adaptation that brings warmth and timeless Asian-inspired elegance to a console, side table, or entry.

Details

• Form: Famille Rose ginger jar mounted as a table lamp
• Decoration: Hand-painted figural court & domestic scenes
• Base: Black lacquer-style wood stand
• Dimensions: 12.5"H × 6"W (porcelain; overall height greater with hardware)

Condition

Consistent with age and use. The porcelain shows overall crazing/crackle to the glaze, which appears original to the decorative finish. The wood base shows scuffs, wear, and a visible split/crack at one corner. No major porcelain cracks or repairs are apparent from the photographs. The lamp is working; wiring and socket appear to be later replacements and should be inspected prior to regular use.
