This unusually large 19-inch example transforms that idea into something particularly theatrical: an elongated Chinese-inspired figure enveloped in richly ornamented emerald-green robes, with its light source cleverly concealed within the ceramic body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal labels and an exceptionally clear dated maker's mark make this an especially compelling example for collectors of California pottery and mid-century lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Object\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe figure is beautifully modeled from every angle. Sweeping folds of fabric create the elongated silhouette, while raised scrolling decoration is picked out in dark detailing against a glossy, variegated green glaze. Amber-gold passages along the sleeves and costume add warmth and dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen illuminated, a concealed rear bulb casts warm indirect light through the open-backed ceramic body. The effect is atmospheric rather than utilitarian—the lamp was designed to create mood while remaining a decorative sculpture in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts impressive scale, superb color and extraordinarily expressive mid-century styling allow it to move easily beyond the traditional TV-lamp category. Display it on a console, credenza, cocktail bar or side table where the silhouette can be appreciated both illuminated and unlit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollected Beauty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Authentic Lane \u0026amp; Co.
