    This was a lamp base that I found at a garage sale, and which I quickly disassembled.

    AI is telling me it's pate-sur-pate. Sure seems like a lot of work!

    Otherwise the main yellow porcelain has a 'wavy' appearance. I don't know if that's good or bad?

    1950's?

    12" / 30cm tall

    Thank you!

    What does it read under the turned-down corner of the sticker?

    Pretty sure it's 'MADE IN People's Republic of China.'

    Not sure of the technique used here, but I don't think it is pate sur pate. Are the Chinese still keen to collect Republic wares? I know there was a good $ bump in that category not too long ago.

    I think it was always a lamp. Pretty thing.
