[QUOTE="Sassy, post: 274313, member: 5547"]Husband and I just had a better look. YOU ARE COMPLETELY RIGHT This is some kind of ceramic jug that has been turned into a lamp. There are huge cracks along the ceramic but upon closer inspection it does not look repaired. It just looks like cracks that have formed over the years. I am flabbergasted right now. This is NOT what I was expecting. Just to find out I bought a $3 lamp from the 20's is a delight, but to think this ceramic might be hundreds of years old? How do I find out more? I suppose I need to contact a local antiques dealer? I have looked over the ceramic very carefully, there are no other markings besides the little sticker for Monif. Would this be a rare piece or a very rare piece? Thank you everyone! I am so excited right now. Here are a few more photos of the cracks and close up of the ceramic. You can see there is a rim that is underneath the lamp hardware, and some of it is cracked. [ATTACH=full]87042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]87042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]87043[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
