Antique Japanese Peacock Lamp

Antique Japanese Peacock Lamp from The Light Clinic. An antique Japanese famille jaune ovoid ginger-jar form, lidded, reborn as a table lamp. The body carries a bright egg-yolk yellow ground with hand-painted polychrome detail across the round: a central peacock with green, blue and ochre plumage stands on a rock among coral peonies, smaller blossoms and green foliage; a dark teal collar runs around the shoulder with hexagonal floral medallions in pink and gold. Late Edo to Meiji-period Kutani palette and feel, finished now with an off-white pleated empire fabric shade and brass riser fitting. Total height including shade 41 cm, shade 28 cm diameter, golden wire. Price includes shade. Wired with UK bulb holders and plugs; a £5 plug converter is available on request for other markets. Use bulbs up to 40 W.
