Exquisite Vista Alegre Porcelain Lamp With Angel and Cherub Motifs

Description: Free eBay listing template designed by dewiso.com Exquisite Vista Alegre Porcelain Lamp with Angel and Cherub Motifs Vista Alegre, the renowned Portuguese porcelain manufacturer situated in Ílhavo, Aveiro, Portugal, boasts a storied legacy dating back to its establishment in 1824 by João Ferreira Pinto Basto. Known for its exceptional porcelain craftsmanship, lead crystal expertise, and avant-garde lighting designs, Vista Alegre has earned its place in the world of luxury décor.We believe this lamp, originally an exquisite urn, has been transformed into a captivating piece of functional art. Adorning its porcelain surface, an angel with graceful wings presents an orchid in the company of cherubs on one side, while the opposite side reveals a scene with a man gently holding a woman's arm in the presence of angelic figures. The intricate, hand-painted motifs are accentuated by genuine gold trim, adding opulence to the piece.The conversion to an electric lamp likely occurred in the late 19th or early 20th century. Two sturdy brass handles and a brass base mount were skillfully added for stability during this transformation. Our determination of the maker's identity is an informed estimate based on our experience, as the hallmark may have been obscured during the electrification process.The brass base exhibits signs of damage and a professional repair, as depicted in the accompanying images. We have refrained from removing the brass base for closer inspection, as this is a task best undertaken during professional restoration work.Note: The sticker (Made in England) affixed to the bottom of the lamp indicates this lamp was sent to Canada. The sticker says "The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario" which was established in 1906 to supply municipal utilities with electricity generated by private companies.
