Condition:

• The lamp is not tested and needs to have a longer cable and plug to make it fully functional. While it is an antique and shows signs of age, there is no structural damage but there are some significant chips and slightly damages on the flowers, as shown in the pictures.

• Description: Condition is used. This lamp is in good antique condition. It has been rewired at some point for safety and is in working order. The hand-painted decoration is vibrant and well-preserved with no significant fading. The brass hardware shows a lovely age-appropriate patina. The bottom is stamped with the "Royal KPM Bavaria" mark, as shown in the photos, which is a common mark for pieces produced by factories in Bavaria.

Historical Background:

The mark "Royal KPM Bavaria" is associated with a number of porcelain manufacturers in the Bavarian region of Germany, particularly in the mid-20th century. The original Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (KPM) in Berlin, founded in 1763, is a separate and older entity, but the use of the "KPM" and "Royal" names was a common practice among Bavarian factories to evoke a sense of heritage and high quality. The "Handarbeit" mark often found on these pieces confirms that they were indeed hand-made and hand-painted, reflecting a continued commitment to craftsmanship in the post-WWII era. This lamp represents a period when decorative porcelain from Germany was highly sought after, and its floral motif is a timeless and classic design.
