Porcelaine De Paris Table Lamp & Helmet Shade
We are offering this lovely pink ground, hand painted vase table lamp by the makers Porcelaine de Paris, as shown. The lamp has twin pierced handles, a hand painted floral motif on the front face, and a gilded motif of flowers and instruments on the reverse. The vase is shown on a matching plinth and has a cover. The lamp is mounted on a brass base with four feet. It comes complete with an ivory coloured helmet style shade with gilt trimming.
This is a short history of Porcelaine de Paris that we found online.
After surviving the French Revolution, Porcelaine de Paris steadily produced tableware as well as purely decorative pieces, vases, boxes etc, receiving orders from all over Europe. Its vitality was unbelievable, creating one new model every day over 30 years!
Around 1830, most of the factories responsible for the glory of porcelain in Paris, closed. However the tradition could not disapper, and new talented men arrived. Among them was Jean-Marx Clauss, a german-born potter who bought a building Rue de la Pierre-Levee, where he took over Locre's activity. "Porcelaine de Paris" stayed at this address until recently.
Then, M. Achille Bloch run the factory from 1887, until 1914. It is during that period that Porcelaine de Paris created 9500 new items. His son Robert will take the direction of the factory after World War I and transferred a part of the activity to a new factory located 200 miles South of Paris. The decorating studios stayed in Paris, Rue de la Pierre-Levee. Robert Bloch was helped by his wife who was a talented painter who worked with Rob Mallet-Stevens. The name "Porcelaine de Paris" associated with the Locre's blue arrows, appeared at that period.
World War II started in 1939. Robert Bloch went to New York with his family. There, he opened the "Blue Arrows Decorating Workshop" on West Third Street. His partner, Paul Molho went to Madrid. And both joined force again in 1945 to bring the old factory of Rue de la Pierre-Levee back to life.
In 1949, transfers started to be applied to allow a larger and less expensive production. And from that new technique came the idea to decorate sanitaryware, from toothbrush glasses to pedestal basins.
The lamp has been rewired with gold coloured fabric covered antique style flex, has all new fittings including a safer switched lampholder, shade carrier and plug. As with all electrical items, it is receommended that it be checked by a qualified electrician before use.
