This is a blue and white porcelain lamp in the Chinoiserie style.
Blue & white porcelain originated in China during the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1644) and became highly popular during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The cobalt blue pigment used for the decorations was often imported from Persia.
Chinoiserie is a European artistic style reflecting Chinese motifs and techniques. It became fashionable in the 18th century and continues to influence design.
