This listing is for a pre-owned PAIR of Ceramic ELEPHANT Table LAMP Bases/Figures.  Restore to their former lamp life or enjoy as-is.  Could be displayed as home décor pieces (perhaps as bookends) or accents in a nursery. With condition issued noted, these items are in good vintage condition.
Pre-owned Sold AS-IS Good vintage condition.
No chips/breaks/repairs.
Family pieces.  Have been in storage and have not been lamps for decades.  Unsure of exact age, but family has photograph from late 1940s/very early 1950s where the elephant lamps can be seen. I also recall that they once had some color/cold paint accents on them.
“Cold paint” refers to paint which has been applied after the pottery piece has been both glazed and fired.
Off-white/cream color; glazed; No maker’s mark.
Matching pair: both have neck bow and are wearing pants; holes at top and back towards bottom for lamp/electrical parts.
Photos are also part of the description, so please look carefully.
Both elephants have overall crazing.  Some lines are longer & more defined (especially at tops of heads).  Both have random dark marks.
Elephants (one more than the other) have areas of blue coloring that has settled into crazing lines.  This is probably because both had color/cold paint accents at one time.
One elephant has an imperfection at the bottom, in the front.  It looks and feels glazed, so my best guess is manufacturer imperfection in mold.
Approximate measurements:
7 3/16” tall
4 5/8” x 4 ¾” at base
