Chinese Vase Converted To Lamp

This vase turned lamp was left on the curb on my street. I brought it home and I was wondering if it has any monetary value. I’m assuming it was a tourist item. It says China Trada on the bottom. I didn’t think it belonged in the trash, but at the same time I thought it was probably of minimal value. I thought maybe someone could give me some insight on this vase turned lamp.

 

With that clean hole, I think this was always a lamp. My thoughts are 60s or later.... possibly even by decades.

 

There are two auctions on liveauctioneers showing "China Traders" complete lamps.

The pair show the marks and sold for $30 in 2021.

The other tobacco leaf lamp doesn't show the mark but says "not antique". It sold for $90 in 2014.

I think yours is very pretty, maybe dried flowers in it?

 

It IS very pretty! I am picturing it with some of those wonderful English chintzes...

 

It definitely didn't deserve to land on the curb. No age on it whatever, but it'll look pretty sitting somewhere.
