Vintage Cloisonné Floral Table Lamp

Pick-up location: Yorkville near bay and Bloor. This item is a Chinese cloisonné enamel vase that has been repurposed as a table lamp. Cloisonné is an ancient technique involving the application of colored enamel within wire compartments soldered to a metal base. This specific piece features traditional floral motifs on a deep cobalt blue ground, which is characteristic of mid-20th-century export ware produced for Western markets. Its appeal lies in its decorative versatility and the rich, vibrant colors achieved through the enameling process. While vintage cloisonné remains popular for its aesthetic charm, market value for lamp conversions is generally moderate, driven by the quality of the enamel work and the condition of the metal housing. Collectors value these for their historical connection to the mid-century global trade of Asian-inspired decor. Overall Height: Approximately 20 to 24 inches (50 to 60 cm) tall. Cloisonné Base (Vase + Wooden Base): Around 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) tall. Lampshade: Approximately 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) in height.
