497. A Small Pate Sur Pate Lamp, French, Mid-19th Century

A small Pate Sur Pate lamp, French, ca. mid-19th Century in a balluster shape in pale green with white floral enameled designs on either side, with brass fittings and an ebony-finished wood section in the base between brasses. Overall the lamp measures 14-1/2"H to the top of the cap (without the socket).

Pate sur Pate is a method of building decoration in low relief by successive layers of slip applied with a brush. The process was developed at Sevres around the middle of the 19th Century. The method was eventually adopted by all of the important European potteries.
