Pair of Mid-Century Italian Porcelain Urn-Form Table Lamps with White Relief

A refined pair of Italian mid-century porcelain table lamps of classical urn form, richly decorated with applied white scrolling foliage in high relief against a soft ivory-cream ground. The bodies are generously proportioned —measuring approximately 9 inches wide at the fullest point— and rise from molded socles set on octagonal bases – 8.75 inches wide – with gilt-finished plinths.

The decoration recalls neoclassical acanthus and foliate motifs, crisply modeled and thoughtfully balanced across the curved surface. The contrast between the creamy glaze and the glossy white relief creates depth without excess ornamentation. Their silhouette—lidded urn tapering to a narrow neck—references traditional Italian ceramic forms while remaining distinctly mid-century in scale and finish.

The gilt bases and simple brass sockets provide warmth and visual weight, grounding the pale porcelain above. They present beautifully as a symmetrical pair on a console, commode, or bedside tables, especially in interiors that blend traditional European elements with softer transitional palettes.
