Figure of an Elephant, Fitted As a Lamp

Elephant in a crackled white finish, converted into a table lamp.

This glazed pottery elephant figure fitted as a lamp is contemporary. Elephants are a familiar subject in Asian and African decorative art, and ceramic animals are often adapted as bases for table lamps. Shiny figure of an elephant with a raised trunk, decorated blanket and square platform on its back. A chrome fitting sits at the top. The finish is fine crackle with small brown chips and a heart-patterned base. It is 10 inches long, 4.5 deep and 14.5 high.

Brings the trunk, the howdah and a very bright idea.
