Description
Oriental vintage lamp.
The item in the image is a Chinese carved resin vase, likely an imitation ivory or "white cinnabar" reproduction. It is a vintage decorative piece, potentially from the 1930s or later, designed to mimic traditional carved lacquerware.
This type of vase is typically made from resin or plaster, not actual ivory, due to modern trade restrictions and the illegality of real ivory trade in many places.
The intricate carving style often depicts natural scenes with flowers, birds, or landscapes.
Similar items can be found for sale on online marketplaces such as eBay and Pamono.
The value of such a resin reproduction is significantly lower than an authentic antique ivory or cinnabar lacquer vase.
I don't know what it's made from but it's heavy. Some kind of stone I'm guessing but I'm not an expert. It's working but needs to be fixed. Please see the photos.
Collection from Hackney or I can deliver it locally.
