Early 20th Century Chinese Carved Green Jadeite Quartz Lamp

About the Item

A relatively large Chinese carved stone lamp mounted on a stepped brass and a carved wood base. The carved stone is often referred to as Jadeite or Quartz but is in fact from the fluorite family. His lamp base was carved in China and exported to the United States through the early to mid-20th century for wiring and transformation into a lamp. Most of the better examples of these lamps (like this one), are hollow and have a small light on the inside of the urn that can be lit on its own, or together with the normal top lighting. The top of the urn which features an emblematic foo dog is removable to allow dissipation of light bulb radiant heat and changing of the light bulb.
