Lot 79: Carl Scheidig Attributed German Porcelain Owl Perfume Lamp, Mid-20th Century, with Inset Red Glass Eyes

A vintage German porcelain accent lamp in the form of an owl, attributed to the manufacturer Carl Scheidig. This piece, dating from the mid-20th century, is expertly crafted from glazed ceramic with a detailed, stylised feather texture. The colour palette consists of a tonal brown and cream glaze, accented by subtle blue-grey highlights. The owl features distinctive inset red glass eyes designed to glow when the internal light is active. Historically utilised as a perfume or scent lamp, the heat from the bulb would evaporate oils placed within the vessel to fragrance a room. The underside reveals a hollow interior housing the original internal socket. No maker’s marks are present. Dimensions: Height approximately 19 cm (7.5 inches).
