Re: Italian porcelain lamp
Anytime you see the words " Made in" and then a countries name EG. "Made in Italy" you are dealing with an item dating from the early 1920's onward. Based on your images your lamp is a Capodimonte style example most likely made after World War Two. These were mass produced items , so values are still modest for them, most sell for less than $100.00 at auction.
