What is a Double Happiness baluster vase table lamp?

Hand painted Chinese blue and white porcelain table lamp of baluster shape and ovoid form is decorated with the "double happiness mark" also known in Chinese to be the shuangxi symbol, which is understood to mean "wedded bliss".  This symbol is found most often on items related to Chinese weddings.  The baluster vase body is slightly thinner than the 32" version of this lamp.  It is supported on a spreading foot and has foo lion handles on a waisted neck.  The waisted neck is decorated with two double happiness symbols similar to those that decorate the wider body and they are all surrounded by sweet pea vines which symbolize the blessing of having "many children".  The neck terminates in a flared mouth rim decorated with a meandering 'Greek' key fret border, while the shoulder border is decorated with a cross-hatch trellis pattern.

Why should you buy this table lamp?

For those designers and home owners who appreciate bespoke works of art and beauty, these one of a kind table lamps bring the utility of ambient light into your home on the body of a hand-made and hand-decorated porcelain vessel that was created with the unique artistry of long-honored Chinese motifs and imperial patterns along with the same potting, painting, and firing methods used in the ancient kilns of Jingdezhen, China.

What else should you know before you buy this table lamp?

Shade measurements and related details below are specific to the lamp, shade, base, and finial shown in the first image of the picture gallery.  While some images may depict wider shade trims, please be aware that all shades come with a 1/2" trim only.  

Since these works of art are hand-made, measurements are approximate and can vary depending on the potter who is making the piece.  Slight differences in size do not constitute defect.  Because these porcelain vessels are hand-decorated, color and design can also vary depending on the artist applying the cobalt decoration or polychrome enamels, as well as the temperature of the kilns used to fire these pieces.  Differences in color or decoration do not constitute defect.  Handmade and hand decorated, all lamps are made to order.  If purchasing a pair, please order them at the same time so we can ensure a close match.  

Please review the product details and our shipping and returns policies.  Make To Order (MTO) items are not returnable.  Again, differences in color, size, and decoration, do not constitute defect.  While we warranty that they will arrive free of damage or defects, there are rules to follow when making a warranty claim.  We encourage our customers to read our Warranty Policy before making their purchase.

Since these lamps are made to order, please allow 2 to 3 weeks for your item to arrive.

Make to Order (MTO) items may not be returned.  For more information, please see our Returns Policy.
