Lamp No.2b
is the second lamp developed in the search for a post-modern
bone-china lamp. Following No. 2 "Calum", No. 2b is
a single bone-china vessel that is fully illuminated by a compact
fluorescent bulb. Unlike Victorian lamps that are comprised
of a decorated porcelain vase, shade and fittings, No. 2b is
a single inverted china urn, plus fittings, left undecorated
and imperfect, complete with casting seam lines.
As with Lamp No. 2, Lamp No. 2b is a post-modern interpretation
of a neo-classical lamp, albeit more simple. The ornate shape
is cast out of a fine material, and left crude and unfinished.
