I recently picked this antique porcelain lotus shaped bowl lamp at an estate sale. It is very old and does have some minor chips. I didn't pay a whole lot for it but thought it was very beautiful. I have no idea on the makers mark. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Diann

It's a stunner Diann!
It's a bit difficult to read the image, but....
To me it screams Bohemia, perhaps Teplice, Teplitz.
Are there any initials within that mark?
Is it Fayencefabrik Josef Strnact?

Hello Vetraio50 and thank you for taking the time to write! I can not make out the makers mark at all even under magnification. It has the numbers imprinted 952 a hand painted tiny red B and then the impressed makers mark that I can not see what is inside. It is a fairly large lamp and very Art Nouveau looking...very beautiful lotus pod and blossoms.
