🕰️ Vintage 1920-1940s Classic: Von Schierholz Porcelain Lamp

    🏰 Historical Heritage: Von Schierholz porcelain factory, established around 1817, renowned for exquisite vases, compotes, and figurines in the Dresden area.

    💎 The Von Schierholz porcelain factory dates from around 1817 and they produced some of the most spectacular vases, compotes and figurines produced in the Dresden area.

This beautiful lamp was produced by the same factory in 1967 to celebrate their Diamond Jubilee year. It is a reproduction of a candle lamp and features their famous Lithopane technique. This enabled them to create these "risque" little cameos, that were not at all visible when the candles were not lit [see video]

The lamp features a group of 4 youths dancing around a maypole in traditional costume. The shade is encrusted with floral garlands and in between the 4 lithopane cameos are reticulated cross-hatched squares. A heavy, floral encrusted finial sits on the very top! All made in the beautiful white porcelain glaze with lots of gilded outlines.

This lamp is in excellent condition, showcasing outstanding craftsmanship. The figurines and lamp shade are free from damage or missing parts. The original plug-end is intact, though a bit loose, and a touch of glue is recommended for the floral lamp finial cap. The lamp accommodates LED standard light bulbs or candelabra-shaped bulbs for a discreet illumination.
