Can you post some clear pictures, including details?
Maybe take the pictures by daylight.

I found more results googling on 'middle east' & 'bowl, 'brass bowl', 'Mamluk revival' etc....

Found this on the web:

"Hoc signum vere regum est" means "This is the true signal of the kings"

The initials "K" and "J" are for Kraljevina Jugoslavija or the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

The double headed eagle is widely used symbol. My guess is that itīs Russian, they used this symbol really a lot.

Searching for Ted Degrazia + cellist in Google, I found a couple of false paintings/ prints. With yellow wings indeed.
Maybe yours is the original 
What color of wings does the original in the gallery have?

I think most people (me too) are quite picky when it comes to lamp shades. I love old stuff, but most old lamp shades I find pretty depressing.

Nice blackamoor. Especially the ones made by Cartier are very valuable:

I would lower that price a bit and maybe offer the possibility of buying table and chairs apart?

Here a better picture of the original:



It's late 17th century, so not medieval.

Yours is a 'copy' like Sapphire suggested. Look also at the color differences.

But if you really like it, I would buy a new one. 200 dollars doesn't sound bad to me.

The name Perier is usually found on hand painted Royal Vienna porcelain or pottery with similar flower motives.  Itīs hard to judge just from a picture, but this one doesnīt look like original Royal Vienna to me.
