Antique White Jade

The Art of a Chinese Potter

Wang Bingrong, 1862–1908, developed a remarkable skill as a delicate carver of bamboo.  He successfully transferred his carving skill to the technique of carving on porcelain which was achieved by allowing the newly thrown jar or vase to dry to “leather hard”.  The artist would then create the decoration by literally carving the jar in the style of ivory or jade carving.

Our featured lamp represents a favoured subject of Wang Binrong, the heron wading through a lotus pond.  This beautiful jar and cover now serves a dual function.  Not only is it a unique and decorative table lamp, but also an antique work of art in original condition.

Lighting is a most important element in decorating and can influence the mood of a room in a variety of ways, for example, soft, romantic lighting.  Table lamps are capable of giving an interior “that something extra” which can of course “finish” the look of a room.

One of the outstanding benefits of Oriental decorative lamps is their perfect adaptability to work with such a wide range of styles, besides being a focal point of an interior.  When decorating, adding a beautiful lamp is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to produce the look and feel you desire.

A very fine, mid 19th century, Chinese dry bodied porcelain, Qing dynasty jar and cover as a table lamp. (Technically speaking - enamelled directly onto the unglazed fired body, or, also known as enamelled on biscuit.)

The jar and cover enamelled with a turquoise ground and carved in deep relief with a lotus pond subject.  A white heron wading through well defined lotus leaves and flowers in two shades of green with lotus flowers in aubergine.  The domed cover moulded with a curled lotus leaf and flower. In Chinese art, the lotus symbolises spiritual purity and is also used as the symbol for summer.

The base of the jar with the applied seal mark of Wang Binrong, (1862-1908), a highly respected and innovative 19th century Chinese potter, active through the Tong Zhi and Guang Xu reigns. The Chinese term for this style of decoration is Fa-Hua, the style first developed during the Ming Dynasty.
