[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 274322, member: 56"]A nice straight on side view that really shows the overall shape of the pot would be good, and hopefully one that gives a sense of the patterning especially around the shoulder. I like the way the glaze seems to stop short of the foot in an intentional drip. If you undo that nut on the bottom, the thing will probably come apart into its individual components, but I don't know if that's a good idea. If the ceramic is broken into pieces, taking the lamp apart might cause the ceramic to fall apart as well. There are others on these boards who know a lot more than I. If there's something to say, hopefully they'll chime in. If there is a knowledgeable person locally to look at it, that's probably the way to go. Don't get too excited. Condition appears to be a real issue and there's a surprising amount of really ancient ceramic out there that has very little value. Not saying that yours is ancient... I don't know. I've had pieces that looked ancient to me but turned out to be quite recent.[/QUOTE]
