<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aaroncab, post: 1543056, member: 3974&quot;]Found this in an otherwise unremarkable brass lamp (brass-ish base, this lamp body, brass cap on top - then lamp socket on top. The wiring looked perhaps 1950&#039;s to me - I&#039;ve already tossed it(the wiring) before taking pics - (oops).</p><p><br /></p><p>The porcelain body is what caught my eye and made me spend 5 bucks on it. It has some fairly well done relief work of some dancing ladies... and is inscribed/impressed &quot;BAVARIA GERMANY&quot; on the top rim (which was covered with a brass cap when it was in the lamp.) If anything I wanted a piece with which I could test different ways of cleaning bisque porcelain. It has a variety of different smudges, general gunk, and dirt all over it.(The pics somehow make it appear cleaner than it really is.) Not sure I&#039;ll ever find a maker as there were/are many Bavarian porcelain factories.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not under the impression this is worth anything - but it is nicely done - and I would maybe want to re-lamp it in the future if I can clean it well without damaging it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any advice on how I should go about cleaning it (bisque porcelain)? I&#039;ve seen online to start with some plain water with a little mild detergent and a soft cloth. I&#039;m planning on trying that first...</p><p><br /></p><p>8.5 inches tall - and about 4.5 inches in diameter at the widest point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for having a look and for any advice!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]228390[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228391[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228392[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228393[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228394[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228395[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228396[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228397[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228398[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228399[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
