Description
Giulia Mangani porcelain lamp in the chinoiserie style, hand-painted & gilt with lychee and original lamp shade, 1950`s ca, Italian.
This lamp has been gently cleaned while respecting the vintage patina. It is newly rewired, earthed, PAT tested by an electrician and ready to use. It has the following new components: brass lamp holders, golden silk cable, white cord switch and white plug. This lamp could be used with a dimmer. It is possible to use this lamp in other countries with light bulbs suitable to local electricity.
This large sculptural lamp by Mangani Porcelain is a playful Mid-Century take on oriental vases. The bulbous shape has hand painted gilt lychee rising from the base; it is stylised yet composed with realism. Lychee are an auspicious fruit according to Feng Shui principles. The red symbolises happiness and the fruit is a mythological symbol of romance, beauty & good luck.
The unique combination of Modernism & Naturalism hand-painted with gilt on porcelain make this lamp elegant & decorative. It would suit a range of interiors such as Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, 70`s Glamour, Traditional or Contemporary.
The main attraction here is the huge Mangani Porcelain base; matched to 1950`s back catalogues by the company as in the last photograph. In this lamp the vase sits on a gilt circular stepped plate. This is on an octagonal plinth base composed of high polished black acrylic on wood. Underneath there is new felt padding for protection.
Rising from the vase is a gold-tone central column. This column is telescopic with a decorative bolt allowing the shade to be lifted up & down. The height of the lamp as measured to the top finial is 65 cm at its lowest and 80 cm at its maximum. The lamp is photographed here at a height of 70 cm. Looking at the column in detail it has a golden disc with two new brass lamp holders inside the original brass covers facing upwards. At the top the column is finished with a sphere finial.
This lamp has the original vintage lamp shade. It is an octagonal pagoda form with ivory fabric, white lining and top brass ring. The shade is fitted to the main column by the finial and therefore is removeable.
This lamp takes 2 standard large screw light bulbs E27 up to 40 Watts each. Presently fitted and photographed with clear Candle bulbs of 28 Watts. These are included in this price.
This lamp is all in very good condition. The porcelain is in very good condition with no cracks or chips. The gilt surfaces are in good condition with minor rubbing & minor marks in line with age. The black acrylic base is in very good condition. The lampshade is in very good vintage condition with no cuts or stains.
Additional dimensions:
The total Height (from top finial) of the lamp as photographed is: 70 cm.
The porcelain base alone has a Height that can be adjusted from 65 cm to 80 cm. The diameter of the base is 25 cm.
The lampshade alone is: Height: 30 cm, top diameter: 22 cm, bottom diameter: 42 cm.
Packing is offered free of charge. We take special professional care while packing.

Together these parts would easily fit into a box with loose fill packing nuts, safe for posting with a courier. We ship with reliable couriers (signed for, tracked & insured).
GIULIA MANGANI PORCELLANE D`ARTE HISTORY: The Mangani family have been sculptors in Florence Italy since the 19th Century. The first atelier, while famous internationally, closed following the financial crisis of 1929. After WWII the next generation appeared to have a renaissance. Promoted by famous buyer Italian Giovanni Battista Giorgini, Mangani creations reached America, most notably Tiffany’s. The Company expanded its production with the creation of large collections, from accessories to lighting, and innovative processing techniques.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
