Seller: fra.angelo ✉️ (452) 100%, Location: Redlands, California, US, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 251850135414 A CHINESE FAMILLE VERTE VASE W/ WARRIORS DECORATION MADE INTO A LAMP BASE. This is a  small baluster vase made into a into a lamp.  Its over all design and decoration  are traced to similar pieces dating to the the Ming Period. It is characterized by a crackle oatmeal ground with high relief  and thick enamel decorations depicting  warriors afoot and  on horseback predominantly attired in green, hence, referred to as "green warriors". Some iron red and yellow are used to create  contrast and as a result, the added colors bring out the green even more. Consistent with earlier designs, there is a dark brown band around the shoulder over which are applied two pairs of dragons facing each other with raised heads. There are stylized foo dogs applied on opposite side of the neck like "handles". The type of raised decorations is a common and special feature of this family of "warriors" jars and vases.  There is another dark brown band around the base. The presence of the dark brown square impressed mark on the bottom has not been verified. This jar was probably made in the later Ching Dynasty and it is very well made. It was probably made into a lamp in the 20's-40's. The silk covered wiring seems original and so is the" longevity" finial. The vase alone is in excellent  condition, no chips or cracks. The issue is that parts of the reticulated metal  base broke off and needs to be replaced.(The original wire may have to be replaced as well.) The vase is 9 3/4" tall without the hardware. The shade is not for sale and will not be part of the purchase.
