Chinese Porcelain Dolphin

By duane, 27 September, 2012
Description

I have a Porcelain/Ceramic lamp that the only identification is that it was "Made inTaiwan ROC" The base looks to be two-tone blue waves with a larger mother dolphin frolicking above the waves with a smaller baby dolphin about four inches below the larger one.The dolphins have blue underbellies with dark green-blue backs. The shade is also Porcelain/ceramic with blue flowers and what looks to be chinese lanterns with holes for the light to shine through. Everthing is trimmed in gold on both the lamp and shade. I believe it to be pre-90s as the electrical cord has straight spades rathe than having different size plug-ins that we have today.

Re: Chinese Porcelain Dolphin

you are right,  this lamp was made in the late80's or early 90's...they do not have much value and show up a lot in thirift stores.  value is less than $25.00
