Chinese Crackleware 2 vases one electrified to lamp

Hi,
I have a set of two crackleware vases. About 8" high and 6" wide, no marks.
One is adorned with images and the other is plain. The illustrated one has been turned into a lamp - I haven't got the lamp bits off yet, to look at the underside. But, the bottom of the plain vase is not marked.

 

Hi there, you want to look into chinese Nanking, for a term for these types

the majority of ones i have had before were turn of the century into the early 20th century

hope this helps

 

i would keep the lamp one as a lamp, as without it, its a jar without a lid

 

do you mean the plain one has no decoration at all (apart from the top bit) ?

very odd if so

 

I agree, seems unusual

 

yes, thanks - I have other vases that are also Nanking style, so good to know.

 

Sure 'looks' like, other than what looks like a 't' off to the left, that the other upper rectangle has some sort of printing there that's a bit lighter....but I'm also not that familiar with this kind of vases either..........
