The Valmire Table Lamp comes from painted porcelain set against a black ground, where a garden seems to appear out of the night. The base is ceramic in a deep glossy black, hand-painted in two scenes. On the round, moon-flask base, a spotted leopard lies stretched along a branch among pale blue and pink blossoms and fine fern leaves, with a thin gold-tone band at the neck and foot. On the ovoid jar base, butterflies in rainbow tones drift across the black glaze above a checked band at the foot. The shade changes the mood: a mint-and-white checkered drum with a printed flower border, a plain white drum, or a tapered white shade for the butterfly jar. Lit, the shade glows and the painting stays bright against the dark glaze.
