Pair of Royal Delft blue and white ceramic table lamps, 1905, with new pleated silk shades.

A refined matched pair of antique Dutch ceramic lamps made from Royal Delft (De Porceleyne Fles) Louis XV–style baluster vases, hand-painted in rich cobalt blue tones with floral cartouches and rocaille scrollwork, and finished with new pleated silk lampshades. Professionally converted with brass fittings, newly wired with new sockets and fabric-wrapped cords; plug adapted for your country of use. Listed height includes shades. Crafted in 1905 at De Porceleyne Fles (Royal Delft), these Louis XV–style baluster vases represent the factory’s early 20th-century Rococo Revival production, when historic European forms were reinterpreted through the lens of traditional Delftware. The sculptural bodies rest on eight-sided (faceted) feet and feature scrolling C-curve cartouches with a gently flared neck—an ornamental silhouette designed to echo 18th-century French models while remaining distinctly Dutch in execution. Each vase is hand-painted in layered Delft blues—inky cobalt through softer wash tones—with a large central bloom surrounded by smaller florets and leafy sprays. The painterly handling is especially strong in the petal work and shaded foliage, giving the decoration depth rather than a flat transfer look. The bases are marked with the yearcode AA and the painter’s monogram PJG (Petrus Johannes Gerbrands, employed by De Porceleyne Fles 1890–1931). The lamps are completed with new pleated silk lampshades in a deep blue—tailored, crisp, and intentionally classic. Converted using non-invasive methods to preserve the ceramic forms; the pair is ready to place and use immediately. About Royal Delft (De Porceleyne Fles): Founded in 1653 as De Porceleyne Fles, Royal Delft is the only remaining historic Delftware factory. Known worldwide for its hand-painted blue-and-white wares, the factory has preserved traditional techniques while continuing to produce high-quality ceramics well into the 20th century. Pieces dated and marked by Royal Delft are widely collected for their craftsmanship, continuity, and cultural significance. About Amitābha Studio: Amitābha Studio is a design atelier dedicated to transforming historic ceramics into one-of-a-kind lighting objects. Each lamp is crafted with deep reverence for the original form, using non-invasive methods that preserve the integrity of every antique or vintage vase. We pair these bases with bespoke lampshades—often made from luxurious textiles such as vintage sari silks or fine European fabrics—and finish each piece with carefully selected cords, fittings, and handmade brass elements. Our work is guided by a commitment to sustainability, cultural heritage, and timeless design.
