Title: asian table lamp
Post by: nera on April 04, 2014, 07:30:50 AM

Hi again
I would be grateful for any information about this lamp,
is it real asian, and do you have any idea about its age?
I`m guessing that is not too old,
but If its not too old what do you think would be worth, I don`t think I want to keep it...
and was considering to sale it...
Many Thanks
nera

This is what is called a Ginger Jar lamp.  So hard to determine anything from this picture.

They have been on the market in mass in the 1900's due to popularity.

Are there any markings, stamps, stickers on yours?

Japanese staff, not chinese. As a result, may not worth too much at the moment.

I will try to have a look at it
