Chinese Bottle Vase Lamp
Erica George Dines, story by Amanda Kathryn Smith

Chinese Bottle Vase Lamp

This form appeals to those looking for a spot of color or to those who appreciate the clean lines of Asian ceramics. The strong turquoise hue in this 1940s Asian ceramic vase makes a bold statement.

Bone shade overlaid with gauzy linen with bow. Also known as a skirted shade, it adds an air of whimsy to a classically shaped base.
