Antique Oil Lamp Rare Kloster Veilsdorf Persian Style Blue & White

Beautiful and rare Persian inspired oil lamp made by Kloster Veilsdorf. The blue and white porcelain body decorated with a profusion of flowers and C Scroll leaves. The form is of a tall ginger jar with the well being incorporated into the lid. The ceramic portions of the lamp are both marked with a “CV” monogram within a shield in underglaze blue as per my photographs. The Duplex burner although unmarked is of a very good quality and is not a new inferior type. The wick winder works well as does the snuffer lever. Although shown without wicks, wicks will be fitted. Prior to posting. There is an anchor brand flat bulge chimney present and a 10cm brass fitter supports a pretty tulip shaped milk glass shade of unknown age which is embossed with acanthus leaves and flowers. Notes on the maker:- Kloster Veilsdorf Porcelain factory founded by Prince Friedrich Wilhelm Eugen von Sachsen-Hildburghausen in Veilsdorf, Hildburghausen, Germany. It achieved a true porcelain body in 1763 when the arcanist and porcelain painter Nikolaus Paul the Younger joined the opperation. The factory made a wide assortment of wares including figures, vases, centrepieces, candlesticks, and dishes. The initials CV painted in blue were used to mark pieces.
