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 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 the four 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.
