Need help ID’ing, sauce? lamp? lol

This came with my lot mentioned in previous post. my best interpretation of the new sticker on bottom is,
北宋惠州窑酱轴塔式纹灯. Which Google translated into, ”Northern Song Dynasty Huizhou Kiln Sauce Axis Tower Pattern Lamp”. At just over 10”H and no plumbing, I have ruled out a 5 tier chocolate fountain.

Sauce, lamp????(thanks google translate). I am seeing a candlestick but even that is odd. Well made and heavy. Beautiful glaze. Image with camera is for perspective. Aside from a one tier somethingamajiger online, I can not find any thing similar at all. Has anyone seen this before. Any thoughts on age?

 

Are you sure?

A roof finial? Just guessing.

 

*rushing to store for dark chocolate, to correctly answer this question.*

a bit heavy and the cup shape top wouldn’t serve its purpose. Well unless they wanted a very heavy bird feeder up there.

Thank you for looking AJ

 

The version I got is:
Northern Song Dynasty Yaozhou kiln sauce-glazed tower lamp

Everything you never wanted to know about sauce glazed wares...

 

Wow, that sure does make more sense than what I got. Great info on the glaze *thumbs up*

so by lamp it must mean candlestick

thank you @sabre123

 

Let's all get sauced now!

 

Hard to tell the volume of the upper bowl from the pics, but perhaps simply an open oil lamp for a floating wick?

 

The bowl looks too rounded to hold a candle.

 

Sometimes the lens or the distance of a camera can be deceiving to the subject. The bowl is 5.8cm W x 3.74cm D

also, didn't associate the word in the translation “tower” to what I thought were called a Chinese Temple until now.
