 lamp vase

Bella,

No, I'm in the Far East. You are on your own with that, I'm afraid. :-)
You can find British dealers online.

Happy Easter

Hello Peter

Thank you so much for your comments. Apologies for the late reply but for some reason I was unable to access the latest one you posted until today!
Are you UK based? If so, could you recommend any dealer who might be interested in the vase?

Best wishes for a Happy Easter

 Lamp is Chinese vase
by: peter

Bella,
Yes, judging from the pictures it is an antique Chinese vase. My personal opinion is that it is late Qing dynasty, possibly Guangxu reign.
Some people might see it as early Qing.
See Ming-Qing Emperors.

 Lamp images

Bella,
Just add a new comment or submission. Multiple image uploading is in the making but nor ready yet.
If you could add a title which makes it clear that it belongs to this post, I would appreciate that. I will then merge them.

 Lamp is Chinese Vase
by: Peter

Yes, it looks as if it is a Chinese vase that was made into a lamp. That was not infrequent in Europe, in the past.

The symbol on the other images is neither a Chinese character nor a regular mark.

If you could upload close-ups, it might be easier to check if it is recent (a reproduction) or perhaps an antique.
What would be needed is a close up shot of a partial area, or two, so that any pores or crackles etc. are visible.
The colors would be right for an old vase, but there are also a lot of reproductions.

Also, if the wooden bottom or top can be removed, images with good resolution would be of advantage. Don't force it if it is difficult to disassemble. Please be careful not to break anything.
