A striking example of Continental majolica work, this figural lamp base depicts an African woman in traditional dress holding a basket of fruit, rendered in rich turquoise, coral, and ochre tones. With expressive sculpting and bold glazing, the piece embodies both decorative theater and cultural storytelling — the kind of ceramic presence that feels confidently collected rather than merely ornamental.

Most likely produced in the early 20th century and originally wired as a lamp, it now reads beautifully as a standalone sculpture or converted vase form. Whether styled in an eclectic gallery display or used as a focal point on a sideboard, it commands attention from every angle.
