Ceramic lamp base in a spherical shape, handmade, originating from Dong Tam (Vietnam), mid-20th century. An authentic piece ideal for bohemian, ethnic, or vintage decor.
Symbolic decoration of 3 different stylized Koi carp in relief on a background of circular waves.
"For a little background, in Asian tradition, the Koi carp is a powerful symbol of perseverance, courage, and success, as it swims upstream against the current to transform into a dragon."
Origin: presence of the Dong Tam label, a well-known ceramic production center in Vietnam (often associated with the regions of Bien Hoa or Bat Trang).
Technique: Hand-incised and glazed decoration (cobalt blue, ivory, and black).
Very good condition.
Height 16 cm
Width 16 cm.
Weight: 1.2 kg
Presence of a drilling hole at the base and a notch for the electrical wire, an object that is also very decorative even without being used as a lamp.
