    I bought this at an estate sale as a lamp, loved the vase and thought it was probably cut off at the top.
    The socket and cord were antique for sure, and I learned from the family that it came from their grandparents estate in New Jersey, and was purchased in the early 1900's.
    When I got it home I removed the lamp and much to my delight discovered that it wasn't cut.
    I'm guessing that it's Chinese, but I'm not sure.
    If anyone has any ideas as to it's age, or origin, I'd love to learn more about it.
    You've all been very kind and generous with information, and again I need your help.
    Thank You,
    Tony

      the faces are called 'taotie'.

      something strange is going on here the scrambled and reduced a mark on some kind xianfeng way, but the spread of the mark is done the guangxu way

      this must be good , if you want to fake stuff you do it the easy way

      this is probably what happened

      this is an imitation of Ge Ware Song Dynasty Chinese Crackleware

      are we committed to HU style shaping , well it is hard to say because its imitation, and they stretched the definition

      are these taotie well it could be, but more in line is Fin de Siecle lionheads handles

      mark wise this is what happening, they did,not abbrievited an xianfeng but the abbriviated an( apogriphical) CHENGUA MARK ( dumbass !)

      so the lionheads in combination with the fluidum of the mark and the sedimentation of the crackles makes it consistent with late 19 century or fin de siecle porcelain

      actually this is quite a value vase ( Guanghu)
