<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sassy, post: 11766717, member: 5547&quot;]Hello everyone. Many years ago I came onto this forum trying to get some information on this lamp that I had bought at an estate sale for $3. I was blown away to find out that it is an ancient ceramic vessel.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted to share the photos again in hopes that maybe it will reach someone that has more information on it. And also to show it off</p><p><br /></p><p>At the time I had contacted many auction houses as I was interested in getting it appraised/sold. I did not hear back from some and others told me they are not interested in anything worth under 5k. </p><p><br /></p><p>From what I have gathered, HK Monif went to places in the middle East and dug up ancient items and then brought them back to New York to sell. Apparently turning things into a lamp was all the rage in the 20s</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some photos of the vase. I can also include a couple pictures in another post for people who don&#039;t want to check out a link.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://imgur.com/gallery/h-k-monif-turquoise-vessel-nuKf2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imgur.com/gallery/h-k-monif-turquoise-vessel-nuKf2" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/gallery/h-k-monif-turquoise-vessel-nuKf2</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
