Landry maker-marked blue and white ceramic ginger jar–form lamp base, executed in bold hand-painted cobalt floral decoration on a creamy white ground. The LANDRY mark is impressed into the clay and sealed beneath the glaze—confirming it as a true production mark rather than a later inscription. For collectors, an under-glaze impressed mark materially strengthens attribution and long-term desirability.
Maker: Landry (impressed under-glaze mark)
Origin: North America (likely Canada or United States)
Date: Mid-century, circa 1955–1975 (most consistent with 1960s production)
The form aligns with the strong mid-20th-century revival of ginger jar silhouettes in Western interiors, particularly during the height of chinoiserie influence in North American decorative arts. Many such ceramic vessels were purpose-built or later adapted as lamp bases during this period, making marked examples increasingly sought after.
• Classic ginger jar silhouette with balanced proportions
• Expressive cobalt blue floral brushwork with visible hand-painted character
• Creamy white ground with subtle textural variation
• Strong presence for chinoiserie, Hollywood Regency, traditional, coastal, or collected interiors
• Suitable for conversion or continued use as a lamp base (buyer to confirm wiring suitability if applicable)
Height (without lid): 10 inches
Widest diameter: 6 inches
Mouth diameter: 3 1/8 inches
Condition consistent with age. Surface wear and minor marks present, commensurate with decades of use. No major structural issues observed. Review photographs carefully for detailed condition; additional close-ups available upon request to ensure full transparency.
Ceramic jar/lamp base and components shown in photographs only.
While North American in origin, the blue-and-white palette and relaxed hand-painted florals echo the timeless ceramics of Provence and the French Atlantic coast. The soft white ground and painterly cobalt decoration pair effortlessly with linen, bleached woods, rattan, and antique brass—making it a natural anchor piece within a French Coastal interior.
