These are made of detailed, hand painted, vase-shaped perforated porcelain.

The taller one shows images of frolicking maidens in shades of green and white with gilt borders throughout. Base is brass colored (don't know what kind of metal it is), and dolphin shaped feet. Measures 17" tall up to the top of the porcelain, and 28 3/4" tall up to the top of the finial. Base measures 7" in diameter.

The smaller lamp features cherubs (putti), white with gilt borders throughout. Base is brass colored (don't know what kind of metal it is), and dolphin shaped feet. Measures 15 1/2" tall up to the top of the porcelain, and 25 1/4" tall up to the top of the finial. Base measures 7" in diameter.

No chips, cracks, or unusual wear on the porcelain on either piece. There was likely a felt pad on the bottom of both to prevent table scratching, but those are long gone (easy to replace). The metal bases show some wear, but no dents or serious damage to the finish. Both of these lamps are in working order, but the plug on one appears to have electrical tape wrapped around it. I didn't remove it, but that is a good indication that the plug casing is cracked. Would probably be a good idea to rewire.

NO SHADE OR BULB IS INCLUDED. less
