Please help me identify these lamps :D

Hello ! I was hoping someone could help me identify these lamps ? My grandpa inherited them from his father and we are trying to find any history associated with it. I’ve scoured both lamps looking for any sort of company identification but I haven’t seen any. The only place I haven’t checked is the porcelain base, however we cant access the base due to the craftsmanship of the metal stand being impossible to undo (a bummer for us but awesome to see how much effort was put into this lamp). Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thank you !

 

They look 1950s Italian to me.

 

Capodimonte or Capodimonte-style.

This looks like the same form (but different base). No information provided by poster.

Are these the same in vase form? You can see the Italy mark if so. Can't verify the info given though.

Thank you so much !!! Debra that is the exact lamp ! The colors are totally different and we have no way of looking at the porcelain at the base of the lamp because the metal is securely attached and we are afraid of breaking the base. We have tried to unscrew the base but it wouldn’t budge

 

Great! Then you have the information you wanted. Vintage. Capodimonte. Italy. And agree with 1950s-ish date. Nice to have a pair. If you have the original shades, hang on to them. They should be recovered, not replaced, if not in good shape.

Small point. They’re not strictly Capodimonte. That factory closed in 1759.

They’re in the style of it and by one of the literally hundreds of makers still doing that.


Good article here.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capodimonte_porcelain

 

Yes, thank you for correction re Capodimonte. I should have added the "inspired" to Capodimonte again.

Since nearly everything with raised cherubs is described as capodimonte style, I'm curious to learn if it bears any resemblance to real capodimonte, or if it's one of those things that gets repeated because it sounds good?

 

You were inspired, Debora!

It’s sort of inspired but these days it’s a loooooong way from the original!
