Lamp

The decoration, set in horizontal sections, of this small lamp – which may have been commissioned for private use –, consists of pierced star-shaped motifs that alternate with floral motifs in blue on a white ground. The faces of angels in half palmettes, surmounted by a cross, can be seen on the handle and rim.
Most lamps from this period were made of metal and acted as prototypes for the few existing ceramic lamps. They normally have three handles for suspension chains and are larger than this piece.
