This is a hand-painted Herend porcelain lamp in the Queen Victoria pattern, made in 1960. The white base and baluster body show crisp florals and leaves in vivid pinks, blues, and greens, finished with fine gold accents. The pierced foot and gilded rings give it a refined, old-world look, while the compact size makes it perfect as a night light or small accent lamp. The glaze is bright and glossy, the colors are sharp, and there are no obvious chips or cracks visible. Expect gentle age wear such as faint rubbing to the gilt. The cord and socket are present; as with any vintage electrical piece, a quick safety check before regular use is wise.
Herend of Hungary has been crafting porcelain since 1826, and every piece is hand painted. The Queen Victoria pattern, often marked VBO, debuted at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London and was named after the monarch who ordered a service for her household. Its butterflies and peony-like blooms were inspired by earlier Asian designs, then outlined and detailed with 24k gold. Collectors look for the blue Herend shield mark and painter’s numbers on the base. Mid-century lamps and night lights like this were popular export pieces, blending fine European porcelain with practical home lighting.
