A table lamp that has a cylinder shaped body that is hand painted with a series of square shaped iimages that are presented in a quilt pattern. The gridlines that seperate the tile-like squares is presented in a faded turquoise colored glaze. The images are glazed in pastel tones of yellow red, green and black. Each Square has a pair of images that depect two people that represent different scenes depicting various images of men and women sometimes two men other times older man and younger man etc. and of various ethnicities wearing farm style country clothing. Our guestimate is that this lamp is from the Netherlands (circa 1960s). Our consensus is based on the clothing which consists of plaid skirts, parka style overcoats, fur hats, suspenders, boots, checkered shits, farm hats, knit caps and crocheted sweaters. The story being told throught the distinct vignettes seems to be from a country farm in winter. the actual message being told in each square is unknown and left to the viewer to create their own interpretation.Dimension details:Lamp Shade: brand name EDWARD SHADES signed at the top of the wire frame where the finial which is a 2.5" H pointed shaped and made of polished brass the shade is black semi gloss black paper on the outside with a cream colored paper on the inside.
