This appears to be an oil lamp. I'm wondering if this is Chinese or Japanese, and of what period.

Thanks.

Hi Tim,

This one seems to be made as a lamp. It's a (for me) strange combination of what looks like a prunus/cracked ice decoration with a brown border. Both futures (the first one as Kangxi revival started a bit earlier in 19th. ct.) from Guangxu period. So my guess.... Chinese, Guangxu for this one.

Regards,

Arjan
